Building From the Ground Up: Relief After Horrible LA Fires
It was a dark scene. It was chaos coming here, trees down, there's power lines down, there's houses that are still burning, and I just could only imagine what it looked like here.
In my mind, I'm thinking it. It had to be. If that's gone, there's no way this could have survived.
“But in the back of my mind, I'm saying it's gonna be there. It's gonna be there.” Bryan, a victim, stated.
“I'm standing at the entrance of Brian's home. This is what's left of his childhood home.” Noted Gordon
The home that his mother lived in, that he and his son lived in. And as you can see, there is nothing left. And this is just one.
“I just passed through block after block of devastated homes, like a graveyard of homes. The only thing standing in memory is the chimney left from the fire.” Gordon continued.
Operation Blessing is on the ground here. We've been here since the beginning to let people know that we love them. We're providing food for them; we're providing hygiene kits and whatever it is they need.
Going forward we're identifying families just like Brian, where how can we help you get back on your feet?
“How can we help you rebuild businesses and have a life going forward. With your help, Operation Blessing will be able to do that.”
For those of you who have given, thank you, you're making such a huge difference for Brian's life, for the life of his young son and for lives of many of the residents here who have said, yes, we need help. We need to be able to rebuild our lives. So, thank you for your giving and stay with us because
“We're going to be partnering with local churches to do even more. If you haven't joined with us, I encourage you to do so. Now it's simple. Just give to the Operation Blessing, disaster Relief Fund.”
