Day 4 --- Frenchy Cantina
Well folks like I said before the lady who drives my Canteen is from Montreal named our canteen the Frenchy Cantina.
Today we had a very full canteen, with stocks for our location. I made a wish list from the day before of reqquest from the people at our locaation. So once we arrived at our location I became very busy sorting and labelling boxes for the families who was coming today to pick up there request. All showed up but gentleman.
There were two young women who came to the canteen on Saturday who where the first to our location today. They are so grateful for all we do that they offered to help us today. This was a God send cause we were very busy after church. Although our numbers were down from the day before it just seemed that everyone showed up at the same time.
Today seemed like it was an emotional day for the people visiting today. Not many would open up and share but for those who did well their stories were very interestng.
The two youg girls I mentioned earlier lost everything and on top of that someone showed up at their campsite and stole all their stuff. Angela asked up to pray for her health and better shelter till they can get a job and make enough money to move into some type of shelter.
Another couple talk to me about being on disability and the cut backs and lack of help by the government down here. The things that they are most concerned about is their medications and medical supplies they need to replace since the storm. Ed & Rose would like prayers for these needs to be met.
Ok today we need to be downstairs a little earlier so I will finish this up later on http://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=afjsqzuf.5cp9hldb&x=1&y=-gqx4nr
