Imagine the stress of being a mom, dad, husband, wife, son, daughter and having a thief break into your home. Not only does this thief steal all your stuff, but covers everything in your home and property with a thick 4-6 inches of mud, destroys the house and you become homeless. This happened to 1000 homes in the Centralia, WA, USA area and 7000 in the region.
The President of the United States has declared the area a disaster area. This doesn’t mean the government will repair your life, it just means the military, federal, state, and local government have been sent to step in and fix major problems like destroyed roads and bridges. Like in hurricane Katrina, the government can only do so much. Now individuals need to get involved. Amazingly, during hurricane Katrina the Centralia community stepped up and contributed tremendous amounts for its small size.
Now is an opportunity to get a generous community back on its feet again. If you would like to bring a team to adopt a family, please let me know. Of course this is not a job offer, but we will do our best to provide you with housing. More importantly you will build friendships with some of the greatest people on the planet that will last a lifetime.
