The amount of people who had come to help rebuild this city has been astronomical. However, when the coverage stopped the teams of people slowly stopped coming. Now today houses like this one still stand abandoned & affected by the hurricane. I will be forever thankful for those who continue to come and rebuild the city that has captured my heart.
