Hurricane Katrina was a significant event for my family. Unlike many homes in our area…

A large uprooted tree lies collapsed against a backyard shed and brick house, with debris, broken boards, and scattered branches covering the grass beside a wooden fence.

Hurricane Katrina was a significant event for my family. Unlike many homes in our area that flooded, our house had roof damage and was ruined because of rain and mold. A tree from our neighbor's backyard fell on our shed and a portion of our home. The worst part was that it also landed on our wires running along the back of our yard which pulled our bricks which led to our roof splitting in places and making holes through every room in the ceiling.
