Neighbors Helping Neighbors Storm Support

• Founder

  • May 2011 - Aug 2011

  For many years my relationship with Home Depot allowed me to help thousands of people with post storm help. Most recently, I went to Ringold Georgia the day after the tornado's wiped out the Southeast. Ringold had about 20 dead, and the town and suburbs were wiped out. The people were so positive it made me start this cause to continue helping, but my efforts were cut short due to radiation damage from my cancer treatments crippliong me in 2011. Of all the storms I have taken my tailgate gear to to help, these are the best people I have ever met! Not one complaint with no Govt. help. One of the best things is it is a very racially diverse area, and everyone is helping everyone rebuild regardless or race. Everyone should visit Ringold and its people. Literally only 85,000 in donations made it to this town, and it has all but been forgotten. Never give up! Show less
