Bishop Family Golden Years Hurricane Relief Fund

Hurricane Laura has wrecked havoc on many lives throughout Southwest LA (from Lake Charles to Cameron and beyond). Unfortunately, it has hit really close to home for me. My mom, her siblings, and my great uncle have all lived through Hurricanes Audrey, Rita, and now Laura, losing everything and starting over each time. Prayerfully and thankfully, their lives were spared! While material possessions can and have been replaced each time in the past, the emotional and mental impacts of starting over have been more devastating than the loss of material possessions. Imagine losing all of your possessions not once, not twice, but three times. Unfortunately, this third time will be much harder than the first two times. Not only do they have to replace material possessions, but they are also faced with the reality of starting over in a place other than the only place they have ever known. Cameron, LA is and has always been HOME! They don't know anything else. It's where my grandparents worked hard to purchase land to provide a sense of security, warmth, and love for our family. The land remains, but "HOME" is gone...the entire building structure, but most hurtful and devastating...the feeling, the security! Watching my elderly family members attempt to come to grips with the reality of a complete and total restoration in a place that isn't home is tough, extremely tough, much tougher than the need to replace the material possessions they have worked hard to obtain. I'm doing something that is the hardest thing I've ever done...asking for your help to ease their burdens during this difficult period of transition. My family would be most thankful and appreciative of any support you can provide! Thanks in advance for whatever support you can lend!
