H.E.A.R.T. 9/11's
Hurricane Katrina Relief Project:
(43 photos)
 From
December 2, 2007 thru December 8, 2007, H.E.A.R.T. 9/11 sent out
volunteers and donors for their maiden mission. A team of fifty
volunteers facilitated the interior reconstruction of homes of the
elderly, people with disabilities, and families with young children.
These dwellings were located in St. Bernard’s Parish, LA. It is a
heavily damaged area that has not received the same attention as
their big city neighbor, New Orleans.
The
prime mission of H.E.A.R.T. 9/11 is to deliver, on a volunteer
basis, relief help anywhere in the world where a disaster response
is required. This deployment, although not immediate, still meets
that criteria. Our team of volunteers replaced dry wall and
flooring and cleaned the yards of those proud displaced residents
who wished to return to their homes and neighbors, but are not
capable of such labor. H.E.A.R.T. 9/11, through its sponsors,
provided transportation, lodging, meals, work projects, tools,
materials and uniform shirts.
Among
the many volunteers were four of our Ten House members: FF
Kenny Ruane, FF Jimmy Sands, and FF Casey Clemente of Engine 10; and
FF Vinny Fennimore of Ladder 10.
