DRS – Imagine everything in your home floating within your walls or even right out your window. The heavy job of cleaning out the mess after flooding can be overwhelming both physically and emotionally.
The heavy job of cleaning out the mess after flooding can be overwhelming both physically and emotionally.
“We want to help lighten the load for people who have already been through so much with Hurricane Florence,” said Bob Laarman, director for World Renew Disaster Response Services (DRS). “We need volunteers to help clean-out homes and share God’s love with survivors as they do so.”
Many people will be able to gut out their homes on their own, but many could use a helping hand. Can you help?
Photos, couches, clothing, flooring, and drywall sadly line streets across North Carolina. Survivors of Hurricane Florence are forced to throw out most of their belongings because several feet of flood water filled their homes. The water sat for days, even weeks, ruining the inside of their homes and all belongings.
