Almost 4 years after Hurricane Katrina, our group from Summerville, SC along with groups from NC and PA were able to help the remaining residents make progress in rebuilding after the Storm.
At Lester's house, the big project was getting the deck and pool area ready for his family for Easter Sunday. A deck may not be considered important when your entire house has cracked drywall because of your house being dropped while being raised. But, for a family that is used to spending most of their time outside on the deck around the pool, it is a huge thing.
We were driven and energetic to complete the deck as the excitement grew from Lester while he invited family members over for Sunday afternoon. And, I bet it was a great party. We did our best to get the deck and grounds stable, level, and in shape for visitors this weekend.
Our group helped Lester and family for the week. The other groups were each at different family. From PDA volunteers, four families were moved forward towards returning to normal more than 3 1/2 years after the Storm.
We will go back in 6 months. Will I see you there?
