Mission of Deeds stepped up to the plate and allowed me to provide a home run for a young man who lost everything months after Hurricane Katrina devasted his life, home and neighbor's lives. This young man spent three days on his rooftop waiting to be rescued while elderly neighbors on either side of him perished because they could not gain access to their rooftops when the levies breached.\r

When he arrived in Everett with only the clothes on his back,he was able to procure housing. Numerous people offered help to settle him into his new community and Mission of Deeds was contacted to help furnish the bare apartment.Not only was a complete furniture set up provided but items down to linens and kitchen utensils were donated. A truly one stop operation that gave a lot of satisfaction to many people bent on helping this young man.\r
