It's hard to believe we have finished the week here in Biloxi and are headed home tomorrow. It has flown by as expected, and I think everyone will agree it has been a fantastic week. Although we never picked up a hammer once, nor a nail, saw, or any wood, we definitely saw our efforts pay off in the homes we touched.
For me personally, the impact we have made on both the homes and the people, never really hits me until the end. It definitely did so by going to a dedication of 6 finished homes this afternoon. Sure, we had a blast out there while we were raking & digging for 8 hours, laughing & joking, but when you see these families sitting outside their new, finished home, it really makes you feel you have made a difference, and how thankful they are for that. And also how incredibly fortunate we all are.
It has been such a great, fun week and I am so happy I was a part of this team again. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported us getting here. We appreciate it more than you know...

A group of advertising types from Deutsch Inc. in Los Angeles, CA, are headed down to the Katrina ravaged area for the third year in a row to lend a few helping hands. This will be their second stint in Biloxi, and it will be a great experience seeing how the city has progressed, and helping out the same community they worked with two years ago.
