That is so true what the locals in the Bay-Waveland area told you about the Gulf Coast needing all the volunteers! Not only has it helped us physically by clearing out our yards and homes, but just knowing that so many people truly care is a great lift to our spirits. Everyone is talking about how the church groups have been so helpful. The next time there is a disaster, I know where I will be donating my money!
The volunteer groups have made me realize that I never even thought about going and helping another community the way you and all the church groups have done. A lot of the locals have been talking about that. We have been amazed that people have been using their vacations from work to come and help us! Sometime in the future when there is a disaster, I want to be able to do what you did (as long as it isn't any time in the next year or so!). Thank you for teaching us the kind of compassion that is partnered with action.
