Day Two ---thoughts

Work day two was another wonderful day! We continued to work on our first two sites and began work on a third--putting up rafters, roofing and beginning to shingle. I can't help but wonder how I would react to being pushed from my home for a year or more? How would I tolerate living in a FEMA trailer and/or having to move in with relatives. As one of our youth said, "We just forget how good we have it."

FEMA regulations require that all FEMA trailers be removed from flood zones before hurricane season begins. So on June 1, everyone here who had been living in a FEMA trailer since their home was flooded in August, had their new home taken away from them. Twice in one year!

The good news is that each week these homes get a little closer to being occupied again.
