When Laura said, "rain or shine," she meant it. Spared from an all out rainstorm, a little drizzle couldn't stop the 12 people determined to make a difference in the life of one western Loudoun family.

In the words of one servant, we "put the hurt on" over 2.5 tons of trash helping to improve living conditions for the family. It was a long day of some intense work, but you can see and feel the difference.




It wasn't just a day of work but a day to connect. Everyone on site has met this family personally, heard some of their story and even heard some of their dreams for the future as we picked up, hauled and sorted the day's work.

And to conclude a wonderful day, here are some meaningful (and not so meaningful) words and thoughts from Tony Derrow and the crew.
