Hurricane Helene
Spent 5+ hrs today with our church doing some work to help those hit hard by the storm. WOW was that an eye opener. To go into someone's home with 3" of standing water (still that much after 2 days) and haul out their entire life possessions and throw them out on the curb? Well that is just a sick feeling that made me feel like we weren't really helping. But the folks seemed appreciative as they know someone has to do that so they were very kind to us. Humbling to say the least. We did 3 houses and a 100+ yr old church today. At the church, they had 3' of water (that was now gone) so we had to break up and haul out all the pews and pull up all the carpet. Nasty, nasty work. I'm worn out tonight!!
My heart goes out to all who are impacted like this.
