Disaster Rebuilders

The Blessing of Rebirth Needed in Plaquemines Parish

I'm used to the new birth and life of spring gently reminding me that Easter is approaching. In Plaquemines, we've been in spring for some time. In fact, the blackberries are almost done. The result is that Easter has snuck up on us here! Thank goodness we had Palm Sunday for early warning.

Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base New Orleans [NAS JRB] in Belle Chasse, Committee for Plaquemines Recovery, United Way of Greater New Orleans and The Fuller Center Disaster ReBuilders are partnering to rebuild the home of Peter Bay Le. Read about the build here

We're making grand progress in Plaquemines Parish! Don't get me wrong, we still need you to come for a day, a week or a month to keep our momentum!

Hopefully, today we put the first piling in the ground for the four houses we're building under the United Way grant. That's the exciting news! The "not so exciting news" is that we've been notified this week that we no longer have 200 days to complete these houses. We now have to have them done by the end of June.

So we need your help! We need you to rally the ole' team and head down this way in April and May. This is a grand chance to create our little miracle for four families have been waiting almost six long years since Katrina to get back in their home!

It's easy for us on site here in Plaquemines Parish to get "lost in the weeds" (I probably should have used "swamp" instead of "weeds") of what we're doing and accomplishing each week. Periodically God gives us a strong refresher of what we're about.
