- Giving Back -
As many of you know by now the mid state area was in a state of distress because of the past
floods. The floods were one for the record books. Large amounts of water flooded Nashville and almost all of the surrounding areas. I myself was not affected directly , I did however have two family members who were greatly affected. One cousin's home was under about 6ft of water, and the others home was washed away and all that was left behind was the foundation.Everyone in the state are very helping hands friendly. In time of need or troubles fellow strangers become fellow friends as we all work together to help one another in our time of need. I myself felt the need to help out our fellow mid-state family.
So as a studio, I decided that we would work to help out as we could. As a studio, I rounded up supplies and water and created 2 care packages to give out to families affected. We donated the packages giving back in both time and supplies. As a studio I wanted to make sure I helped give back to those who give.
I also was given the chance to take a small tour of some of the damage that has affected so many people. The things I saw while in the neighborhoods was just so bad. The roads were nothing but mud, piles of what was families memories laying in piles by the road. Trash and washed up trees lay in fence rows and in the ditches of the roads. I saw a small wooden lawn shed that had washed up and landed on the guard rail. It still had there personal belongings inside. I know, we tend to forget about things once the news stops showing it daily. This is something people in some areas will be living with for years to come.
I have to say we are blessed as people, to have the strength to over come tragic events. We as a state will rise from the mud and become the great state we have always been.
Thank you to everyone who donated to the cause, and those who will donate.
