Sheetrock Solution


This young man, Richard King, came as a blessing to the Butler family and right before Christmas. Richard had come here the year after Katrina and worked with one of the first families we helped right down the street from the camp. He worked installing and finishing sheetrock. He still had a heart for the people on the coast who lost everything to the hurricane. So, this year he wanted to come back and give of himself once again.

He came to us this time hoping to volunteer before looking for work in the area. Little did he know that the Butler's home was in the sheetrock stage on the interior and it fit right in for him to volunteer to do this work. He worked for 3 weeks on the home taping, sanding and finishing the sheetrock. The Butler's are very excited that he stayed this long working as a volunteer for them. Thank you Richie for hearing from God to come here and do this valuable work. We know you will be richly blessed for giving of yourself for 3 long weeks!!
