A team of 9 went back to San Leon TX on December 6, 2010 to support the ongoing Ike Recovery Program that has been in place since Hurricane Ike came ashore in September 2008. This team was assigned to work on the trailer home of Ms. Rosa and her family. Ms. Rosa’s trailer home had been worked on by 3-4 teams in advance of our arrival, so we were asked to finished up a few things during our work week. The team was very busy all week working on putting down new floor tiles in a walkway area by the dining area, putting a piece of new sheetrock in the kitchen ceiling and floating it in, putting new trim around the dining area, finishing the installation of tub/vanity/toilet/flooring/doors in one bathroom, running new plumbing under the whole house and insulating same, repairing holes and ‘soft spots’ in the floor, and more. Ms. Rosa is very happy to now have hot water all through her house, as well as the new flooring, etc. She was so very appreciative of the help. Ms. Rosa has two young sons that we so enjoyed during our time there. The team was awesome and willing to take on any task that came their way and had great fellowship and fun in the process.
We would like to thank the Ike Recovery personnel for helping us all week, and also La Marque First United Methodist Church for letting stay in their church. Also, we thank Lakewood UMC for making this mission possible.
