The weather cleared and the water subsided almost as quickly. After work we celebrated the completion of the project's 100th home! Home owners and volunteers alike gathered together.
Last November, a woman drove by as we worked away on our Habitat home. She rolled down her window and simply asked for help. Five of us spent a half day pulling rusty nails from the studs that framed her gutted home. Before we left, we put her in touch with the St. Bernard Project. I ran into Mary at the celebration. As we hugged she told me that her home is now only three weeks from completion. And she invited me to Mardi Gras next year!
