NEW YORK - Teresa Heinz Kerry, encouraging volunteers as they busily packed supplies Wednesday for hurricane relief efforts in the Caribbean, said she was concerned the effort was too focused on sending clothes instead of essentials like water and electric generators.
"Clothing is wonderful, but let them go naked for a while, at least the kids," said Heinz Kerry, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites). "Water is necessary, and then generators, and then food, and then clothes."
Heinz Kerry stopped by a market in the heart of Brooklyn's Caribbean community, where she spoke French with Haitian vendors and shook hands with volunteers busy packing food, clothes and other relief supplies to be shipped to several Carribean islands hit by Hurricane Ivan. Her husband's campaign donated water, blankets and first aid kits.
"I think it's important we help all the kids we can," Heinz Kerry said.
Ivan swept through the Caribbean last week, killing more than 60 people and leaving tens of thousands homeless.
Dr. Roy A. Hastick Sr., president of the Caribbean American Chamber of Commerce (news - web sites) and coordinator of the market's relief effort, said the visit helped make difficult days a bit brighter.
"It's a major boost for us and the community to show we have someone on a national level concerned with what's happening in the Caribbean region," Hastick Sr. said.
Supporters gathered on the sidewalk shouted "We love you," and "Good luck" as Heinz Kerry made her way to a waiting car.

LOL! That woman is a lunatic. God help us if she ever gets into the White House.
Whatever happened to 1-800-HELP-NOW
DO NOT send clothes or water.
Send CASH to the Red Cross and let them disburse and buy items that are needed.
If this asinine comment is on video and finds its way into a Bush commercial, Florida goes Republican. No doubt.
I am afraid. The woman is wacko and Dufus listens to her.
I'm not sure a half billion is going to be enough...
He's beholden to her -- he HAS to listen to that nut.
Of course he does - she OWNS him.
Ya know, it's only a matter of time before the liberal press accuses Karl Rove of saddling Kerry with Teresa. After all, she was married to a GOP senator first, so obviously she's a plant to make the DNC look bad. *wink*
LOL! You forgot to give us a warning. 8-)
Makes it safer, since you can't have your pocket picked.
Also, the looters don't have anywhere to hide the loot.
And, the mind-controlling puppet-masters are right out there in the open, so they can...oh, wait; that is either insane or science fiction. Sorry I got carried away.
Only when he needs his allowance.
Money or no money, having to live with her would be a sentence worse than death. Especially if she were essentially in charge of you. I can't pity Kerry though - he should've been more careful in what he wished for. Karma is a cruel master, indeed.
I question the timing of this marriage!
"Tereza Heinz likes children to be naked..."
Must be a friend of Wacho Jacko
Jean-Fraude Kerrie listen to Mama T? I thought they used the same DNC handlers.
OMG!!!
It almost makes one feel sorry for the poor sap that's married to this woman!!
The comment, if stated by Laura Bush would've been headline news all over by now!!!
Unbelievable....that they're still so high in the polls that is!!!
woohoo!!! Teresa at SERE training. I was a SERE instructor for nearly 6 years... I'd love to "interview" her!!!
If she gets to be first lady, State dinners at the White House will look like that scene out of the Naded Gun movie. 4 years of big time laughs.
