Thank you to everyone who helped with the flood Relief! The people in the Fargo-Moorehead region were very appreciative of the supplies that were sent.
The people in that community are amazing. They showed so much courage and camaraderie during this whole ordeal. I didn’t think I would see so many smiling faces in a federal disaster zone. Even with their homes and livelihood’s in the balance, there remained a neighborly feeling everywhere we went. People would cheerfully pitch in and help before you could even get the chance to ask for it. It was inspiring.
Come the weekend, we had trouble finding places where volunteers were needed. The volunteer stations were overcrowded with people waiting to help. So we saddled up and headed north. We managed to find some sandbagging to do in the rural towns of BrookTree Park and Hendrum. Getting there was a chore in itself. It seemed that swollen rivers and creeks were blocking us at every turn. We did manage to get there though. We put in a fair amount of work.
Although were were fairly busy, we still managed to snap a few photos.
We know that the people in the Red River valley are not out of the woods yet. We wish them luck, and regret that we couldn’t take another week to offer more help.
Good luck Red River Valley!
