Today, August 27, marks three of the worst days of my life. August 1992 In August 1992, I had just moved to Baton Rouge, Louisiana for graduate school. A Hurricane named Andrew was coming our way.

We’ve had items donated that were assigned to our participants and caretakers. They were labeled and then they disappeared. No food […]
