Some of the hurricane victims, when asked if they would like to go to Chicago, said "No." I guess I can't blame them. It's frightening enough to see your home destroyed, your city in chaos. To have to get on a plane and go to a place you have never even seen? On the other hand, imagine if you are a poor person made homeless by the hurricane. You choose to go to Chicago and when you get there, you meet a lot of nice people. You go for a ride with some other folks to see a little bit of the city. Someone offers you a job. Next thing you know, you are renting an apartment. You join a church. Your life is good and all because you said "Yes" when they asked you if you would like to go to Chicago. The hurricane is life changing for everyone involved. How it changes your life is not entirely up to you, but part of it is.
