I want to share my story today as a reminder to appreciate every day and not to take anything for granted. My story begins after we returned home 12 hours after Hurricane Harvey tore my town apart. There was no water, no power, no cell service and no home to come back to. We were blessed enough to have friends in town to stay with.
There was no water, no power, no cell service and no home to come back to.
As soon as we returned, we helped. I picked up shingles torn from roofs and dragged tree limbs to the street. At noon and 6pm, I’d go to the local shopping center and help hand out warm meals to the community. I learned that no one is too small to help. I also learned that we should always be willing to help and never afraid to ask for help. After being homeless for 3 months due to the storm, we’re moved into our new house and ready to get back to our normal! Thank you CHEERFIT for helping to keep me motivated the entire time.
