LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) -Putting Southwest Louisiana back together is more of a marathon than a sprint, which is why every bit of help matters.
Liz Abdalla, construction coordinator for SWLA Responds has been helping homeowners with recovery.
With limited volunteers, she says more help is needed.
“The work that it takes to get ready for a large team - especially to put them to work. So that once they get here, they’re running. They’re not waiting for us to get tools on-site, they’re not waiting for us to figure out how much roofing materials they need, they’re not waiting for any of that. So that’s why we send volunteers out.”
