A few more views from Bay St. Louis. At day's end on this Wednesday, we all gathered back at Lorraine's house. We have developed a special friendship with her and have empathy for her situation. A 15-year veteran of the New Orleans Police force as a mounted policewoman, she was unable to continue in the job following an accident related to her work. Now faced with health issues and house problems she applied to Habitat for one of the weatherization grants they offered and was accepted.
Our new, lovely friend, Lorraine is in the front row, fourth from left.
The above 6" plywood from the side of the house where the new range duct exited was saved by Billy. Inscribed "Lorraine, wishing you ... A whole lot of love from Paterson Habitat. Bless you. Bless you." It now sits on the mantlepiece of her fireplace and is treasured by Lorraine.
