Flood victims in and around St. Landry Parish are getting a helping hand from the volunteers with Minuteman Disaster Response as they begin the gut-wrenching process of putting their lives back together. One of those volunteers, Eric Burkes, says the hardest part is handling their personal possessions.

Cut 7 (11) “…can be removed.”

Burkes says the fact that it’s been raining nearly every day has made the recovery process a lot more difficult, mainly on two fronts.

Volunteers from eight different states will be assisting as many as 12-hundred homeowners, and they will be in St. Landry Parish through July 18th.
