Stumbled upon this site and your movie by the grace of GOD!
Although watching the movie brought tears to my eyes and pain to my heart, almost four (4) years to the date of hurricane Katrina, I still shed tears and feel an overwhelming since of pain just thinking about my home and praying for the day to return to it.  I lived in the Gentilly section of the city and my block is has not revived.  The majority of my neighbors are not returning and have either sold to road home or lost their homes.  My husband and I are now fighting a number of medical problems and our return home has been very slow.  We are struggling with the high cost of medical insurance, doctor visits and unaffordable medications.  Not a day or hour goes by that I don’t think of home while my heart floods with pain and my eyes fill up with water.  I hope to return home someday in an upright standing position and not a flat position in a box.  Hope everyone continues to pray with us and for us, that those of us who own our homes and were tireless, taxpaying, upright citizens return home to the land we love and call NEW ORLEANS.  Thank you and GOD bless you for allowing me to see and hear a small portion of home.  If anyone reads my comments and you want to contact me, please feel free to email me.

What’s up with the center now?  Did the community come together to rebuild?
