Oh my gosh.  What an awesome service.  We didn't know that Ms. Jessica had 3 feet of water in her home from Irma.  She had to escape in the middle of the storm because she thought she was going to drown.  She told us that she was trying to rebuild her home from the destruction of Hurricane Matthew and her seawall inspection was due 4 days AFTER she was hit by Irma.  We moved 15 yards of dirt with 4 wheelbarrows, about 15 shovels, and 8 rakes.  We moved it from the front drive where the trunk dumped it way to the back yard.  Jessica would not stop saying thank you and getting emotional because of the help of our students.

An awesome story is that most of our students didn't really know whose house we were going to when we arrived, 2 students discovered that it was the same Ms. Jessica who was their 2nd grade teacher.  They were so excited because Ms. Nuzzo was their favorite and so thankful for the ability to help her since she cared and took so much time with them.  Both Ms. Jessica and her husband have been so blessed by the service of our students and church.  Everyone worked so hard, half the night in the dark.  Thank you to all who worked today.  Great job.
