A Pearlington Couple in Need of Help: FOLLOWUP STORY

Did We Survive Hurricane Katrina or Not?: A Pearlington Couple in Need of Help: "'Hello, my name is Warren Tidwell and I need help. This is a real and urgent call to action. An elderly couple in Mississippi lost everything in Katrina and they need us and soon. This isn’t a hoax or a joke. I’m working helping to rebuild their home.'
"

From MSNBC.com, January 27, 2007 - in an article entitled "Volunteers shoulder Katrina rebuilding" (hat-tip to Mom for the link) - we get an update on George and Margaret Ladner's home: "The two-by-fours inside the walls of George and Margaret Ladner's new home are inscribed with biblical verses, each written by one of the Alabama schoolchildren who raised money to buy the lumber." Full article: HERE.

A thousand thank you's to all the incredible people out there who have volunteered to help us all rebuild. God bless you! Hugs.

"A man's house burns down. The smoking wreckage represents only a ruined home that was dear through years of use and pleasant associations. By and by, as the days and weeks go on, first he misses this, then that, then the other thing. And when he casts about for it he finds that it was in that house. Always it is an essential -- there was but one of its kind. It cannot be replaced. It was in that house. It is irrevocably lost. It will be years before the tale of lost essentials is complete, and not till then can he truly know the magnitude of his disaster..."
