    What an outrage!!!!!!!!!!! This guys is accusing FastAid after they helped him????

    I just got this off Facebook... I can not believe some people, they get help and then try do bring down a good cause? REALLY?????

    Greg watch :33 seconds into the news video where it says you said you are in financial dis-pare around $80,000. Well if you are in such dis-pare why did you just enter a race last weekend?

    Greg Fastaid is providing a service out of their hearts to give back to a community they all love. You should be thankful you got what you got! They have near 20 people to help and you are not making it any easier for them to do so.

    it sucks when a news agency takes wild speculation and makes it legit news. they should be ashamed.
    When in doubt, paddle out.

    It was only a matter of time before the accusations were flying. The worst part is its all non-profit and out of the good of peoples hearts and now its turning to be owed to the victims families versus the kind and generous thoughts behind it.

    copied from nbc san diego website

    A family member of an Escondido man killed in a desert racing accident in August is accusing a non-profit organization of withholding money that was raised for families of the crash victims.

    Greg Farkas will never get over the loss of his 25-year-old son Aaron. "It's left a big hole in our hearts," Farkas told NBCSanDiego Monday night.

    On Aug. 14, Aaron was a spectator at the California 200 race in San Bernardino County, standing along the route of the off-road race. A racing truck lost control and slammed into a crowd of people, killing eight of them including Aaron, and injuring 12 others.

    Greg Farkas says the crash also left his family in financial despair. "We're talking in the $80,000 range for medial and funeral costs,"Farkas said.

    The Farkas family contacted Fast Aid, a non-profit organization that helps raise money for victims of race crashes.

    Farkas believes Fast Aid has raised at least $500,000 since August.

    "A lot of it's cash," said Farkas. "I have a feeling that it's not all going into the account like it's supposed to."

    According to Farkas, the organization is giving the 20 families of the California 200 victims, $5,000 to $8,000 each.

    NBCSanDiego contacted the president of Fast Aid Jared Tetzlaff, who's also a police officer in Arizona.

    He says only about $150,000 has been raised.

    "We've kept meticulous records because for us to be a non-profit we have to show where the money comes from so we can give out tax deduction receipts and everything else,"said Tetzlaff.

    Farkas doesn't believe it. "I think it needs to be investigated," he said. "There's some cash going away somewhere."

    Tetzlaff said he would provide any documents to prove that his organization isn't stealing any money.

    Meantime, the Farkas family is now contacting other families, to see if they would support a criminal investigation.

    Fast Aid is not responsible to give anyone anything. What they have given already is fair to EVERYONE. They have no requirement to cover every single expense a family has. This is not an insurance policy. Where does it stop.....at a CAP thats fair to all.
