GEORGIA – As Hurricane Helene swept through the Southeast, the devastation was unthinkable. The city of Valdosta, Georgia was one of many places hit by the wrath of the storm. The town faced catastrophic destruction as a result.
Amidst the wreckage, a senior citizen named Melanie experienced first hand how much you care! Your support made it possible for our disaster relief team to be on the ground, showing Melanie the love of Christ.
Melanie’s Experience: Counting Blessings Amidst Destruction
“When Hurricane Helene came through Valdosta, I sought shelter at my friend’s house,” Melanie recounts. “She said I’d be safer there.” The winds howled, and power lines snapped as the storm raged, but Melanie felt a sense of relief when she returned home. Despite the chaos, her house stood intact—a miracle in itself.
“I count about seven or eight trees down in my yard,” she continued. “It was pretty bad. There were days when I felt overwhelmed, but I reminded myself to count my blessings.”
“I don’t have insurance on my home because it’s too old,” Melanie said. She wondered how she would manage the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
