Two Hurricanes in Two Months
Lake Charles, LA
Within just a month-and-a-half of each other, two hurricanes hit Lake Charles, Louisiana.
“Looked like a bomb went through the whole city and surrounding areas,” said Trudy Faulk.
Trudy Faulk’s home was left in ruins. Collapsed ceilings buried everything she owned.
“It's just kind of heartbreaking to think that I invested so much and then it's gone to waste,” explained Trudy.
Insurance will cover the damage to her house, but Trudy couldn’t find anyone to help her salvage what she could. Contractors’ schedules were full, her siblings are older and have health issues, and her neighbors were busy working on their own homes. Then Operation Blessing came to her aid.
Trudy said, “You think you're alone in a situation and He just sends somebody to say, ‘Hey, we're here to help you. We're going to help you through this.’ They've taken out debris, hauled furniture out, did a lot of packing the kitchen.”
As moldy drywall and debris were removed, precious items were also recovered.
Trudy said, “It just feels like God giving you a hug and saying, ‘I care.’ Operation Blessing has just been an awesome help. I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you.”
