They also demoed the entire home. In one day. All of it. Down to the studs.
The week before I had seen a post on Facebook that if you needed help from organizations such as Samaritan Purse, Habitat for Humanity, Baptist Men, etc. to call the phone number listed and they would create a ticket with your needs. So I called and created a ticket with them. They said they would be in contact in about three weeks. Honestly I pushed that information to the back of my mind. Friday afternoon they called letting me know they would be there the next day.
Saturday morning around 8:30 some men with the group, Mormon Helping Hands showed up and went to work. They only stopped long enough to eat lunch and by 4:30 they were finished.
Through out the process every time Hubs and I would try to do something they kept telling us, "oh ma'am we will get that or sir I'll do that." They would not let us lift a finger.
Because of this group and the men who answered our call we are now in the drying out stage of our home.
At the end of their time with us they asked us to pray with them and Hubs lead the prayer.
In the 22 years that we have been together I can count on one hand how many times he has either cried or gotten choked up by events, Saturday was one of those days. My emotionally strong husband was brought to tears and almost could not finish praying.
Hubs and I will forever be grateful to the men that came to help. There is no way we can ever repay each of them for the time they spent working on my home.
So in the craziness of Post Hurricane Harvey, these guys were the bright spot in my day.
