CREW remains busy. We have a group here now from The Church of the Covenant in Washington, PA. They are doing incredible work, however the home they are working on (in Moorehaven) is the same home that the group that was here at the end of June, Hilliard Presbyterian Church from Hilliard, Ohio was working on. The damage is much more than initially suspected. She had damage from three different storms. Her entire roof has had to be replaced (wood and all). Costs have exceeded well above expectations and what we had donated. This has happened on most jobs. Also many of our volunteers are from out of state or at least out of county. Local volunteers, including licensed contractors and translaters would be greatly appreciated.
The week before that we had East Lake United Methodist Church from Palm Harbor, Florida who tarped two houses in Clewiston in one day before driving home.
Another group, from Lakeland Florida has been here several times helping a couple (one with serious medical conditiaons) in Buckhead Ridge, Florida and an elderly disabled woman in Ortona.
Grace Ministries from Cape Coral has also been here once and are coming back this weekend to help tarp roofs and remove debries. They helped clients in Moorehaven and Clewiston.
We really need fern strips, tarps, plywood, shingles, drywall, office supplies, a truck, or volunteers who are licensed or skilled, as well as unskilled volunteers, someone willing to deliver supplies, provide meals and shelter to volunteers. In addition, it would be wonderful to have local volunteers.
