Greene Lamp Community Action has been traveling to the hardest hit areas of the nine (9) counties it serves. Staff have been going into areas where people are living in tents or campers in their yard, visiting other humanitarian aid organizations to interview residents who were impacted by Hurricane Florence. Many familes faced total loss of their homes and belongings and have not fully recovered.
For example, Ms. L and her husband, along with their children were forced out of their home because of rising flood waters. They were able to purchase a used camper and live in for the past 9 months. Just recently, they were able to move back into their home. Greene Lamp's Rebuilding 478 Lives in Eastern NC was able to purchase mattresses and boxsprings for the family.
Greene Lamp has assisted 18 families (44 individuals) thus far with applications being received daily for much needed assistance. As more families are returning to their homes, the much needed funds from Global Giving will continue to help rebuild lives in eastern North Carolina.
Project reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
