Louisiana Flood Victims Fundraising: A Personal Mission
As most of you are probably aware, South Louisiana was greatly impacted recently by a massive flooding event. Eddy and I grew up in southern Louisiana. My two younger brothers, Seth and Asher, and their families live in the city of Central, LA where 27000 of the 28000 homes were flooded. They have lost the vast majority of the contents of their homes.
