Hurricane Katrina Relief Efforts

Fourth Trip Completed

Members of our fourth relief trip to the Gulf Coast again stayed at the First Presbyterian Church of New Orleans, a Presbyterian Disaster Assistance site. While in New Orleans, our team worked alongside members from Wildwood Presbyterian church as we all reconstructed the home of Dora Parks in the Upper Ninth Ward. Dora's home had been severely damaged by Katrina. Our group also worked on the home of Brenda Poche. Brenda's home was one of those we visited during the first relief trip.

By the time our team left, we were able to celebrate with both homeowners: Brenda was able to finally move back into her home, and Dora was able to see significant progress towards the day she will move back in for good!
