YourHost.com will send a Hurricane Katrina Relief Team to Mississippi in April
Posted on Mar 9, 2006
The CEO of YourHost.com, Eric Kirkhuff is going with a Youth group from Calvary Huntington Beach, Refuge including his son Robbie, that will be one of many teams to drop into a well-organized Mission group base camp headed up by Calvary La Habra, California. The camp is now getting to be known as"CAMP HOPE".
What makes this different? Working people like you and I are leaving their daily work and going to Mississippi for 7 days at a time, donating their time to doing specific relief work that help curb the opportunists that are ripping off the local residents of the area.
CAMP HOPE -There is a void that has been created and CAMP HOPE is there to help, by providing comfort and free services to residents during the rebuilding process.
Who is going? High Schoolers 14+ and the CEO of YourHost.com with his 17yr old son, Robbie, are going to be working in Mississippi to bring hope and relief to Katrina victims. "We will be servants and do what ever it takes for seven days"
Mississippi residents, young and old alike, people like you and I, have been devastated with little hope of help. Their homes have been destroyed and during the rebuild most have no way of making their own meals while their house and living conditions are repaired.
The primary focus of CAMP HOPE is to feed the local people 3 meals a day while they are working on rebuilding their homes and their community.
The residents are being taken advantage of, being charged astronomical prices by unscrupulous contractors and individuals to fix walls, paint, cut trees, etc.
CAMP HOPE provides all the tools and services to these victims for FREE.
The only thing that we are asking, if you feel in your heart that you want to help, is contributing to the plane fare for the Team that is going. Plane fare is $340, transportation $25, and accommodations $50 and that's it. We need help to get the people there and any amount will help.
YourHost.com is paying for a team to go in April 10th.-17th. and you can help can send more.
The relief group has grown and has been built out of many different churches and organizations in the City of Bay St. Louis Mississippi.
These people thirst for some love and compassion which will be a natural asset the teams will bring.
In general, the teams will be cleaning out houses and yards, chain sawing trees, removing trees, preparing food, and whatever is needed.
The base camp was initially setup temporarily on a baseball field and has grown to several Quonset huts. Recently, the city saw such a blessing that came from the group that they approved of our teams to run permanent water and electricity lines underground to improve living conditions and allowing a larger flow of assistance to prevail.
