Home Delivery
A friend at work reported that she would be coming in late today. Her home was being delivered to her New Orleans east lot. Her original house was destroyed during Katrina, since then she has moved two or three times including a stint in a FEMA trailer. It has been a hard road for C. getting insurance and road home money lined up, ordering her modular home, getting the pile foundation built. Through it all she has rarely complained, and never talked about leaving.
Yesterday her daughter was in the office after school, the smile on her face said it all. She was so happy that after two and a half years that she was very close to having her own room again. It is people like C. who have driven the city’s recovery. I often wonder if I would have had the same fortitude had I been in the same boat.
UPDATE:
C’s house did not arrive this morning the axle on the trailer that was carrying the house broke. It should arrive Thursday.
