Thank you for volunteering to help others. It’s a wonderful thing you do. God Bless!
Frankly, those of us who run the shelter (one of those faith-based things, by the way) receive more than we give. It is truly rewarding.
But we are tired, so tired. Back-to-back Gustav and Ike have been a true challenge. We had just gotten the Gustav linens laundered and the building back in order when it was time to set back up for Ike.
We ran the shelter for Katrina evacuees for nearly a month. This one looks like it may take a while, too, especially with so many who rode out the storm now being sent to N. Texas.
Some of our folks will go back to nothing. They need our prayers.
