From The Harbor To The suburbs

A bustling shrimp industry was brought to a hault by hurricane Katrina. The channel and shoreline are clogged with debris and most of the boat slips are beyond repair joining the shoreline to present a picture of almost total destruction.

A small suberb North of Gulfport fell victim to a Katrina offspring. A tornado swooped through the community, blew off the roofs of nearly all the homes and torrential rains left the interiors a soggy mess. Shelly and her husband saw their insurance money swallowed up by a greedy contractor long before the job was completed. She asked us to help finish the job.

Shelly's husband is serving in Iraq. They are expecting their second child Feb. 10 the date he will arrive home for a two week furlough. He has not been told that the reconstruction is nearly complete and expects to come home to an unliveable home. We were hoping to have new carpet in place but due to the heavy demand the earliest installation date is six weeks off. Perhaps in time for his officiaal return in late March. We feel fortunate to contribute to this happy reunion.
