Day 7 --- People Helping People
Today Henry my driver of the canteen I ride started to train his replacement. Miss Delores. Very nice lady from Virginia.
Today Brian was in seeing a doctor but one of his mother’s workers got meals for his mom, his sister and him. People helping people. I have been noticing that everywhere I go. Everyone out there is willing to help each other, families coming together to help each other, neighbours coming to help each others, then Salvation Army, Southern Baptist, the Amish, HOPE Force, Camp Hope--Calvary Church, City Team Missions, Red Cross, Army, Air force, & FEMMA. I am sure there are many more we have missed we need to add. Hundreds and Thousand coming from all over to help fellow people with whatever we can do for them.
Today a met a lady named Leona who has a heart condition who’s house moved 12 ft off the foundation. She finds it very hard to come to her house. Femma gave her a small trailer, which she has at her daughters because of her heart condition. You could see how broken she is, I offered a hug and she just broke down, she was so afraid for her daughter to see her tears. She has a 1 yr old grandson who is acting out and showing fear since the storm. The tornado apparently went through her house because her bedroom blew up. She says it literally looks like a bomb went off in her house. She lives in the bayous near Cody & his dad. Pray for them.
Delta & Tillman are a Cancun senior couple that was told there house could be fixed up. They were given $5000 dollars for renovations. That probably will not even do their roof. They have fabulous family there helping them out. Great people. Their children want them to come and stay with them but they will not leave because of the looters. They said there are many looters in the area.
Audrey and Buddy stayed on the roof of their home. Audrey said they were praying as they saw the tornados coming up the street. She said it was going all around them. She really felt they were not going to make it through this. They lost 5 dogs in the storm. She has them buried all around their property. All there statues were gone but there was one left it was Jesus she feels God looked out for them. They have been working very hard to get things back to normal. What will normal be for these people.
We met a man who said he also stayed on top of his roof then he and his brother decided to leave. They got into a 12-foot boat with their dogs. He said one of the dogs jumped over board so he went over looking for him to save him. He said in their area the water was around 30 feet deep.
I meet a few single men that I am sure could use a treatment centre of alcohol, but until they admit they have a problem I cannot help him out at all.
One of the members of our team was down for 3 days with flu. There are 4 others on our team who are trying hard to fight something off. My throat is very raw and I have a fever. I decided I would not be and asset to my team today and asked to return to my room for some rest and TLC so I can be well tomorrow.
God Bless
