On May 22, 2011 an F-5 tornado that reached over ¾ of a mile wide (one of the deadliest in the history of the nation) ravished the town of Joplin, Missouri, leaving 142 (as of May 28th) lives lost and over a third of the town in utter ruin. As families work to literally rebuild their lives from the ground up, there will be many that come across their path to help. The outreach to the community has already been utterly overwhelming, but help is still needed and will be for months to come.
We’re Here to Help
HA Construction-Design of Nixa, Missouri is among the many businesses ready and willing to offer volunteer services to Joplin residents in need. More importantly, on a ministry level, HA Construction-Design would like to reach out to those that find themselves in over their heads with the need for repairs and rebuilding after this devastating tornado.
Andy Flint and his team are eager to do whatever is needed (from hauling off debris to securing windows and roofs) for those that may be falling through the cracks during the Joplin recovery efforts, such as the elderly, single mothers and handicapped individuals that just don’t have the means to do it all alone. What about people that didn’t have adequate insurance coverage to take care of the thousands of dollars in repair and rebuilding costs? HA Construction-Design is more than willing to help these individuals, too.
HA Construction-Design also wants to aid in the Joplin recovery process by teaming up with local churches and organizations as they arrange joint efforts with multiple businesses and volunteers.
How We’ll Make it Happen
Current and future clients might be wondering how HA Construction-Design plans to help with Joplin tornado recovery efforts and still be available to everyone else. It’s simply a matter of designating a day to help and shifting current project schedules a bit to accommodate that – and Andy has no doubt that HA Construction-Design's clients will be more than willing to share a little construction time with those in need.
Handling the extra workload in order to volunteer in Joplin is a process of communicating with subcontractors to make sure they are also willing, and able, to help. Additionally, Andy and Lisa realize that HA Construction-Design's employees still need to bring money home for their families and can’t necessarily afford to take a day off without pay, no matter how much they want to help – which is why HA Construction-Design is more than willing to pay its employees to help with Joplin recovery efforts.
In conclusion, Andy and Lisa Flint, the subcontractors and employees of HA Construction-Design are ready and willing to help with Joplin tornado recovery efforts and start the process for rebuilding lives. Contact Andy directly at (417) 224-2129 to see what HA Construction-Design can do to help you.
