NARRATOR: In the wake of the recent flooding in Louisiana,

OperationBlessing and a team of more than 200 volunteers

is helping people get back on their feet.

In Denham Springs we reached out to one

special and important group-- police officers

and their families.

They were the ones pulling people off of rooftops,

they were the ones rescuing people, literally saving lives.

And now these guys and gals are working hard

to protect their community and to keep it safe.

So while they're doing that and working

all kinds of crazy hours, OperationBlessing

wants to come in and support them.

NARRATOR: David Person is a police chaplain.

His own home was flooded, but he was more concerned

about his fellow officers.

They would be in a complete mess

if it wasn't for OperationBlessing

taking care of this while they're out

taking care of the community.

NARRATOR: Danielle Stirling's husband is a police officer.

Devastation, stress, worry, anxiety, all of the above.

We didn't know where to start.

I mean right now they are completely

gutting my housee-- walls, belonging cabinets, everything.

We're getting down to the ceiling, studs, and floor.

That is pretty much what we have to rebuild from.

NARRATOR: Volunteers included a team of law enforcement

officers and other public servants

from Mississippi, led by their police chief Luke Thompson.

We wanted to come and just simply try

to help and volunteer.

With police officers, they're out still working,

they're patrolling, they're doing the things

that police officers do in spite of their own losses.

And right now they're working lots of overtime

with very little time off.

So the families have the responsibility fall on them

to do things like we're doing-- tearing out sheet rock.

So that's what we're here doing.

We're forever grateful.

We would have never been able to do this with his work schedule

and everyone, all of our friends, all of our family,

they're going through the same exact thing too.

We would have never been able to make progress like this.

I would definitely like to thank OperationBlessing.

They have really saved our family.
