When Green River resident Laurissa Lee started checking into the Houston area after Hurricane Harvey hit, she felt the need to offer her help and support to those affected.
Lee volunteered to go to Port Arthur and Orange, Texas to provide hurricane relief by cleaning up disaster areas. She started her volunteer work in Texas, boots on the ground, on October 2, and stayed for a week until October 9.
“It was hard. It was emotionally and physically draining,” Lee said of the experience. “And for me to be able to go and help was probably one of the best experiences I could have hoped for.”
