During the Christmas season we often take delight in walking in a winter wonderland. Unfortunately, for many Atlantic City residents, they’re stuck in a winter ‘no man’s land’ instead. While some are beginning to move back in to restored housing, many are living on the second floor of their homes because their first floors have been badly flooded by Sandy. To make matters worse, some still have no heat and others no hot water.
By the grace of God, the generosity of God’s people and the tireless efforts of volunteers around the country, we’ve been able to provide a water-heater for one family while we continue to work on their downstairs. For another, we’ve just begun the ‘gutting’ process of their downstairs and are just beginning to dry it out using sump pumps, fans and dehumidifiers. Their roof has some serious issues as well.
I am posting some ‘before’ pictures and will post some ‘after’ in the coming weeks as the volunteers make progress. Thank you for your prayers, financial help and volunteer labor. It means so much to the families who are struggling to get back to some semblance of ‘normal’ life. God bless!
