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

Rating: 5 stars  

My family and I traveled from Chicago to NY to help NECHAMA repair homes damaged by Hurricane Sandy. We stayed with NECHAMA's tireless volunteers in an old Army Barracks, shared meals, and worked along side them each day cleaning, repairing, sanding and painting various homes. These folks were so well organized, worked extremely hard, all living on a food budget of several dollars a day (the power of group grocery shopping and cooking). We were inspired by their positive spirit, enduring work ethic, tradesman like expertise, and incredible efficiencies. We received far more via learning and inspiration than we gave in labor and dollars. It was truly one of the most rewarding experiences of our collective lives. Thanks NECHAMA! The Roth Family
