Review for NECHAMA - Jewish Response to Disaster, Saint Paul, MN, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

2009 was a very stressful year for Linton, ND. Our flood devastated many many homes in our county. It was the perfect storm in which 3 cricks thawed on one day after a Thunderstorm in March. This was followed by 22 inches of snow in a 48 hour period. The word spread about our situation and Nechama was the first to come. We established trust within hours of their arrival. They followed through with what they said and did the right thing time and again. The first week they helped organize living quarters for volunteers to come in and clean flooded homes and farms. They attended leadership meetings and offered support. They treated us as if we were their own. Individual home owners still ask how 'Dan' is! We still feel their shield of peace and strength even though it has been 3 years and miles between. With their help we rose to the occasion and came out stronger!
