New Orleans: Fly low and slow over Convention Center to air drop?

You need to quit trying to freelance and contribute to an existing
relief effort. You are asking someone to essentially throw their pilots
license in the trash by assisting you in your well intentioned but
misguided ploy. Their certificate would be revoked on an emergency
basis, and likely permanently revoked. If you are lucky, the drop wont
hit someone on the head, killing them.

The COLD HARD TRUTH is that many people bear SOME of the responsibility
for the situation they are in.

They were told to get out. SOME couldnt. Many CHOSE not to.

Prudence dictates that you keep a ready supply of your prescription
meds, and TAKE THE MED BOTTLES WITH YOU when you leave home.

Common decency says dont shoot at the goddamn helicopters trying to
bring you food and water, and give you a ride out.

You cant fly relief in until the hurricane is gone. You cant truck
relief in over a demolished bridge. You cant snap your fingers and make
a division of guardsmen appear in 2 hours. It takes time to mobilize
resources.

Yes.. You are right.. people are dying. People died on the bus ride to
houston last night, and no, this wasn't on the news, and no, its not
heresay.

Send your 4 grand to the red cross and if you want to help, call them
and ask what YOU can do to help, UNDER THEIR DIRECTION. If you were
interested in helping people, you would have joined up with such an
organization ahead of time, being proactive, rather than REACTING after
the fact.
