Bruce De Boers of World Renew Disaster Response Services informed The News Gram of the labor of hope and care his organization is providing to the flood victims of the June 14th and 15th flooding which ran rampant in our area. "Basically what we're doing is getting information from all affected families about what kinds of needs they still have such as furniture and appliances," stated De Boers, "We have had over 100 families come in, but we need for all of the nearly 500 families to come in by Friday in order to provide the maximum amount of help to this area." "We're finding that some people have needs that have not been identified.
Some people had water come in as high as the ceiling on the first floor of their home, that's a lot of sheet rock. We're also finding that they're having electrical issues and plumbing issues." De Boers added that he and his wife also provided assistance during Hurricane Sandy when New Jersey residents were reeling after that horrific natural disaster.
