Rebuilding Together

Wednesday, May 4, 2011

To us, it's personal...a tagline we use on our logo
To us, it's personal...a tagline we use on a daily basis with our clients & caregivers.
To us, it's personal...how we felt when one of our CAREGivers lost EVERYTHING in the tornado last week.

CAREGiver P {we won't use her real name} is thankful to be alive. She is thankful that God has given her a second chance. Katie, our Marketing Director took her out yesterday and bought her only what she called "primary needs"!
This is CAREGiver P's car. 

 Below is a picture where the house was that our CAREGiver was in when the tornado hit. 
There used to be a garage over the car in the picture.
 The Birmingham News posted this picture online. This is some of the family members sitting on the stairs of what used to be the entry into the house:

 Below are other pictures she sent to us.


 We will help her rebuild her life, which to us means buying her whatever she needs. She keeps telling us she doesn't need anything. She is ready to come back to work and with the help of a borrowed car, she will come back on Friday.
