[StBernard] Returning Residents

[Westley Annis]

WENDY:  Thanks you said it all honey and I am with you.  Isn't is scary to
know these people have such poor attitudes toward there place where they
lived? We are doing the right thing along with a few thousand more people.
And if God spares they will regret every word. 

I have learned to keep the faith and not get run over by comments made by
people that aren't lifting a finger to support the rebuilding process in St
Bernard.  

God Bless

David,
 
   I wasn't bragging about returning with my three kids, but that we
returned for the gutting. The kids should know that to recover from such a
large disaster it isn't going to be done alone. AND that when something like
this hits another area (when they are older) that they should be ready to
take up whatever and help like we were. It's intuitively obvious you didn't
get what I was saying, so let me break it down in "baby terms" for you. I
was letting people know that these volunteers are giving their time, money,
and energy, the least that the residenst of St. Bernard can do is be there
when they come and say a simple thank you- you know those manners that your
momma taught you as a kid. AND that these volunteers are making videos to
take home to recruit more volunteers. Spring break is over but the work
isn't finished. Many of the kids I spoke with are now planning on coming
back in May. They are hoping to be able to go to the homes they gutted and
help with sheetrock, flooring, etc. I would ask that you read a little more
carefully before calling CWS, otherwise you will have wasted the time of
people who are already greatly over worked and underpaid becaus eof your
misinterpretation!!
