The Sweet Teas







Team members: Lynn Cayward, Pat Wallace, David and Heidi Coryell

We are working for the Dubois family in Moss Point. Their home is only 450 square feet, 4 rooms and a bathroom. (That's not 4 bedrooms, but 4 rooms in total!) The house is so small that they stand on a chair outside the window to talk to us. Since Katrina, they have not had a working kitchen or hot water, until the last 2 or 3 weeks. They only have two doors in the whole house: the front door and the door to the bathroom.

Today we removed the rotten floor in the bathroom, as well as mudding, sanding and painting. We also we able to work in one of the bedrooms, painting and working on the closet.

Our name is the "Sweet Teas" because when we went to a nearby store for something to drink, they were so appreciative of our coming down to volunteer that they donated the tea to us.
