Assisting our neighbors
As our community is once again in receipt of much prayed-for summer rains, some of us are forced to grapple with getting too much of a good thing, as is especially the case with many of our Belen readers who experienced severe flooding.
It is times like these where communities come together and assist each other as we are able. I’ve heard encouraging stories of this happening recently, and seen with my own eyes strangers showing up to help Belen businesses dig out and get back up and running.
