They had jobs, they had families, they had degrees, they were good people. They’re just regular people that were in a horrible situation.

We came down here not to stay at a hotel or work a job. We came to help.

When the people of the shelter found that we were going to be replaced, they got angry. They started writing letters and petitions.

If we’d have done what they wanted us to do, we would have run the shelter into the ground.

When we were there, we pretty much ate, slept and drank with the same people. It was all about the evacuees. You’re just immersed with them.
