Saturday April 12th - In the aftermath of Katrina in Waveland, Ms.





Broken dreams. This client came to us today for us to take over the construction of their home that they had started a year ago by themselves but the management of the sub-contractors just became too much trying to do it "long distance". So we we will be taking over using a combination of sub-contractors and volunteers to keep within the restricted budget. This is a very common problem we are seeing more and more here in the aftermath of the recovery - unfinished dreams.

We are always urgently in need of volunteers - both skilled in construction and unskilled. We have 17 spots for RV campers along with volunteer housing for up to 200. The camp is about 4 blocks from the Gulf Coast Beach near Waveland, Ms.

My family spent January volunteering with Kathleens' group. I was a very rewarding experience. The gratitude in the eyes of the Waveland folks made it worthwhile. These are good folks who's luck has run out. I would encourage anyone, no matter your skills to stop in for a time. You will come away with a true appreciation of how good life has been to you!

Hello there Mike! Yes, you were a great asset. You will be glad to hear we have 17 RV spots four blocks from the beach - no more issues with getting people in and out of the Tabor site!

Kathleen.
