HOUSTON - College students surprised an 85-year-old, disabled flood victim who lost his home.
He got free repairs, but it�s the volunteers saying thank you.
William Ford, 85, never pictured himself posing with two 20-somethings who thanked him for putting them to work. They went inside Ford�s home, pulled out his soggy dry wall, moldy furniture and everything ruined by Harvey. Dialysis and Ford�s achy back prevent him from doing it.
�They were respectful and helpful, so it�s hard to beat,� Ford said.
�To be able to come in and help him out a tough time in his life by doing all the heavy lifting and all the grunt work, it�s amazing,� Matthew Crowley said.
Humanity First sent 150 volunteers, mostly teens and youth. Many came from Houston�s Ahmadiyya Association. They chose to work in Kashmere Gardens where Ford�s next door neighbors are in their nineties. Few on their block have flood insurance or means to rebuild.
