In Wharton County, Texas our NECHAMA team is working hard to help families whose homes were struck by disaster. There is still so much damage left from Hurricane Harvey. Some houses had to be gutted all over again because they were not properly treated for mold before the rebuild process began. Please consider joining us to help these families get back in their homes, and this time get the work done the proper way.

It might be hard to still be thinking about Harvey when Hurricane Florence just hit, but we don’t want to forget about all the families that were never helped or those who’ve paid contractors to rebuild their homes only to have to pull their walls out again due to shortcuts taken during the rebuild process. Visit NECHAMA.org to see what you can do!
