Most of the group from North Street worked at the home of Lloyd S. today in the upper 9th ward of New Orleans. Lloyd's parents, Dennis & Cindy T., live with him. They are the family we told you about yesterday that just this week returned back to New Orleans for the first time since Hurricane Katrina. We met them yesterday as they passed by the home we've been working in and around. They are in the process of gutting out their home, an unfortunate process all too familiar to their neighbors throughout the city. This involves pulling out everything from within the home - carpet, padding, drywall, furniture, possessions, and more. It's a sad and very dirty process. In addition to their flood-wrecked home, Lloyd, Dennis, & Cindy came back to an overgrown lawn strewn with trash, a broken fence, and all sorts of other debris left by the wake of Katrina and the flood that followed. We did the best we could for them today in helping them clear out.Almost all of today's pictures show their home and our team working with them in the yard.
