I live in Galveston and FEMA has not only allowed me to have a motel room for a couple of months or better, but they now have put a trailer out in front of my house December the 19th, so I was able to come back and be in front of my home while people were restoring it. There have been many, many people from all different areas, from not only Texas, but from Pennsylvania, from Connecticut, from Canada, and just different areas all over the United States who come to help.

My name is Ian Strom. I'm down here volunteering with the Evangelical Free Church of America. The organization is doing all sorts of relief work in the Galveston area, and my family and I came down from Canada as volunteers to work. We just thought that God wanted us to help out and I've got the abilities, and so, here we are and this is what we're doing. We have, Evangelical Free Church of America has volunteers coming in on a regular basis. This week we've got 50 volunteers. They're all down for a week and we've got them at different job sites around Galveston doing different things. Some are gutting, many are in the reconstruction stage, and we're all people from different walks of life from different parts of the country. There's some from California, from all over. It's people that want to come down and serve.

We house them in bunks that have been set up at the Galveston Bible Church and we have volunteers that feed them on a daily basis and we're all just here to serve.

I buy all the materials and that's what I've used the FEMA money plus in order to buy all of the materials needed for this completion. And they do all the work, the EFCA group, of all these different people have done all of this work free for me. So I'm very thankful. Thank you.
