I can guarantee this house is no longer standing..

And its a damn shame too..since I helped build it

In 2002, I was one of 6 adults (and 45 kids) who helped clean up areas of Biloxi and even built a home -from the slab up in 4 friggin days. If anyone here is from Biloxi, the home was located down near the center of Biloxi, near the train tracks (there was a Church's chicken we could walk to when we were on break).

Amongst all the wreckage and ruin, this makes my heart even sadder knowing how the family we helped, who was originally waiting for a home to be built (they were on a list of needy people), has to now lose their dream home and go back into the shelter where they originally were.

Here are some pics of the home we built down in Biloxi..






Looks like I might be part of another task force to head down there at some point in the future
