Kay says she returned to her home after Hurricane Ike hit last week and found she was very lucky. She only lost some siding on the North side of the house and had lots of debris everywhere from trees and etc. Other than that, it was minor damage compared to others.
She said in driving back to her home she passed through neighborhoods that had downed fences, roofs gone or without shingles, and storage bins upside down. She said just about all the trees had lost their leaves or branches. Through all of her own troubles she finally cleaned her yard as best she could and was off down the street helping other neighbors with their cleanup.
Kay says her son Dean and his wife Lisa followed her home to be sure she was OK and then Dean proceeded to the hard hit areas with the first responders to supply water, gas, food, clothes and diapers to the less fortunate. They also raised over $1,000 for the cause and Dean will be returning this coming week with more supplies.
Kay says her family felt they were blessed that the storm did not damage their house any worse and they wanted to do all they could to help others.
God Bless Kay, Dean, and Lisa for trying to help the folks that are doing without now. I'm sure your help is much appreciated.
