On March 3, 2019, Tornados struck Lee County, AL, Talbot County and Harris County, GA. The damage was catastrophic. From young children losing their lives to families losing everything, it was life-changing.
People lost their homes, vehicles, and some even lost their loved ones. People are without power and some do not even have an estimate as to when they will get it back; however, the community has been outstanding.
People have volunteered to take in others' animals and foster them. People have opened up their homes to complete strangers and welcomed them in with open arms. Nearby restaurants and Churches have generously donated food for those without.
We have had people volunteer to cut trees in the middle of the roads. We have had so many donations given to fire departments and shelters. The community is what has helped everyone. From the donations to the shelter, it is the outpouring love and prayers this community has.
The love the community has given towards each other is phenomenal. Everyone is being so generous and giving. When it hits home, you realize how bad these types of disasters actually are. The damage is tremendous and will take time. Some will have to rebuild and some will have to repair, but the community has offered so much that those things seem to little.
Everyone put their differences aside, and we all became one huge family. We have helped where help is needed. We have donated where donations are being taken, but most importantly we have come together to help one another.
