Mormon Helping Hands-Sandy Relief Efforts

Ben, Michael and Jasen had the amazing opportunity to join a Hurricane Sandy Relief team this weekend.  They left Saturday morning at 4 am and arrived in New York City around 9:30.  They met up with other volunteers and Relief Effort Coordinators and were asked to start out tearing down drywall in a basement that had completely filled with water.  They had to remove the ceiling drywall and all the insulation as well.  They moved on to other projects, removing flooring, debris, more drywall and all kinds of cleaning up.  The job was exhausting and filthy but totally worth it.  The boys had a great time with friends.  Ben had a great time with the boys.  Everyone had a great time working together.  I was a very memorable and life changing experience and I couldn't be more proud of the hard work that they did.

This is just a small example of the devastation that the guys saw in New York. 

Michael found this old bottle of wine in some debris on the beach. 

They ripped out all the dry wall off of the walls and the ceiling in this basement.  The water level was 10 feet.

The Grimmers, Andy Reid, Sariah Relitz, Nick Ingraham and  Eric Rivera were a few of the team members that the guys got to work with!
