JC Ministries

JC Ministries is a non-profit agency working with recovery-related programs throughout the Gulf Coast. We are here to offer help and guidance to the women of the Greater New Orleans area struggling with issues related to substance abuse. Our transitional home for women, located between two of the failed canals, suffered flood damage during Hurricane Katrina. Would you please consider making a contribution towards our rebuilding? Your donation is tax-deductible.

Toxic flood waters inundated the downstairs. Fortunately, most of the walls are the original heavy plaster and do not seem to have to be replaced. We have spent several days tearing out kitchen cabinets and molding sheetrock where we find it. These are shots of the transitional home.

The flood waters came to just under the light switchplate. Some of the wood floors buckled, but seem to be shrinking in a few places. You can see the amount of debris that had to be cleared out of downstairs in order to start to dry out.
