Sunday, Feb, 25 Despite the apparent ruin of areas that used to thrive, a sense of hope exists in the Gulf Coast states six months after Hurricane Katrina. Friday, Feb. 24 Call it the tractor-trailer of hope, because for many, that’s exactly what it is. Woman rebuilding life after Katrina Geraldine Gleason of Diamondhead, Miss., left it all behind when she evacuated her home during Hurricane Katrina, except for two suitcases, six pillows, her daughter, Temple, and dachshund, Jo-Jo. Thursday, Feb. 23 Family shares Katrina experiences While Hurricane Katrina was a devastating and often humbling experience for many, members of the Hines family of Diamondhead, Miss., believe God intended them to move there just for that purpose. Wednesday, Feb. 22 It takes a lot of time, effort and hard work to build a house — but it takes even more to rebuild one. Tuesday, Feb. 21 Mend-a-House volunteers are staying at Diamondhead Baptist Church, which is also accommodating other groups from around the country who have come to help rebuild the area. Saturday, Feb. 18 The trailer full of items for the victims of Hurricane Katrina destined to leave Sunday for Mississippi may have to remain in Woodbridge unless a cab is found to pull the trailer. |
Jaclyn Pitts and Donnie Biggs traveled to Mississippi to document the work of local volunteers, and tell the stories of people still living in Hurricane Katrina’s rubble. |
