roofs update
Posted by Judy H on October 31, 2015, 8:37 am
As of Friday night, our team of local paid guys, completely funded by Operation Blessing Int'l, has completed roofing on 8 houses (since Tuesday am).All homes had multiple rooms to secure making for a total of 18 dry rooms, affecting the lives of 25 individuals living in those spaces. Fortunately the majority of those were up before the rains began Thursday night. The team worked throughout the rains of yesterday. We have 3 more roofs lined up for today and Monday and then a second and perhaps third team will join us for next week. Once the most vulnerable elderly, handicapped and single moms have been helped, there is hope to begin work with others in need here as well. OB has set up an additional link for donating to this hurricane's victims. As is their promise 98-99% of all donated money goes DIRECTLY to the people affected by natural disasters. Their reputation in this regard is stellar. The main page for donating is www.ob.org and the new specifically designated link for donations, set up yesterday, is: http://community.ob.org/site/Donation2?df id=8366+8366.donation=form1. Hope this helps. I am without internet so using cell for all (challenge). Have tons of photos to share when I am back on my laptop. First things first. At this time the priority is ROOFS over heads, beds and kitchens! Judy and Felipe (Horan-Arellano) 315-104-8113 judy 315-104-5925 felipe

It is so heartening to hear that Operation Blessing is on the ground (or the roof) getting the job done. Kudos! Muy buen trabajo! | ------------------------Re: roofs update

Thursday I saw two sleeping rooms with the roof made of tin panels, mostly blown off from the hurricane. 24 hours later, a new roof on the place. And a very happy family inside! | ------------------------Re: roofs update
