Now Playing: Day 2805-Next GP Chapter... Turning Lemons Into Lemonade :)
What happens when strangers open their homes and in turn...open their hearts?
Over 3,000 families that desperately hit the open road in hopes of escaping the path of hurricane Irma. All in less than 48 hours. Were welcomed by one small group into the homes of over 3,000 families from Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, New York and even Canada who opened their doors to those in need.
HOW AMAZING IS THAT?!!
I say...PRETTY DARN FREAKIN AMAZING!
Every single individual. Every single family. Every single fur child in need. Everyone now has a safe place to rest. Every single request for help, as of this evening, has been filled. Even those who bravely filled their gas tanks and headed down south to pick up those who needed a lift to safety. The kindness of strangers who lent a hand to offer assistance with cash due to ATM machines that literally ran out of money. Those individuals who went out of their way to make sure others were able to have access to medically necessary drugs and other medical supplies.
YOU are the ones who help make America great again!
Let's continue to reach out to those in need during the next phase of hurricane Irma. There are still families that need temporary shelter over the next few days. Some over the next few weeks. Some may even need help in rebuilding their home again. Let's also not forget about those who still need our help in Texas. As the Mitchell family continues their drive up north to be with their extended family. We now have 2 bedrooms vacant and a homemade pot of chili ready for anyone who needs a place to rest. There are other families that also have listed their contact information for those who need a place to stay. With so many others donating their time or needs to so many families that are anxiously waiting to go back home again. Airbnb is still allowing free listings for those opening their homes to evacuees. As well there are many other online social media groups that are providing a safe place, food and shelter to those in need.
Open your home...Open your heart~
