We got a major reality check today......

We went up to help Dan and Trish Move their salvageable belongings to a storage unit after the hurricaine. I did not bring my camera intentionally but I could have taken the most amazing picture. When we showed up with $2000 in cash, a new generator(both through VERY generous donations) and a dozen misfits with trucks, trailers and ambition, the looks on their faces told a very long story. Let me tell you Dan and Trish are very grateful to you all who have helped and prayed.


We got all of their major belongings moved thanks to lots of work, from a great group of people. A big thank you to all who came out to help. At the end, Trish banged her arm in the storage unit and had to go in for a few stitches.........I'm gonna call later and make sure she is OK.....


Their house is a big mess.......the bedroom is bare trusses with a tarp over them....no drywall, no insulation, no nothing........they are staying in a tent in the backyard.......Lots of major damage, the whole house will need to be gutted.


For those who have asked me, Their biggest need rightnow is monetary. They are reasonable well set with clothes and things and need money more than anything. If anyuone still wants to donate, the info is here

One more time, thank you SO much all who came out.....you know who you are......This is forum is a great place, and this again proves that we have a bubnch of great people with HUGE hearts....
