Longmire Tweet: How We Responded to Hurricane Ike
[from our Twitter friend, pastor and IWU alumnus... from Houston]"So far we have had families sleeping in cars until they found us, another man walked a full day and night just to get to the church. We have a family that not only lost everything material, they lost their mother in the storm. We have a man that is recovering from six gun shot wounds.
I have story after story of the 42 people that have come across our doors in the past three days. We have seen the pain, confusion, and relief that seems to overwhelm the faces of the people who find shelter at Parkway.
We have tried to communicate and demonstrate in a tangible way that they have found a safe place to rest. Most of these people have not slept a full night or taken a shower since last Thursday, no shelter, and no place to go.
These are people who had homes just like you. Kids just like you. Lives just like you but because of the path of the hurricane they lost everything. It is these people that we are extending a loving and helping hand to.
