Hurricane Ike relief trip in Galveston

I went on the Hurricane Ike relief trip in Galveston in a team of 4 people, and we tore down flood damaged walls in 2 houses. One house was owned by a woman named Tina, and she had accumulated lots of stuff since her childhood. Much of her things are memories of her life. We had to move her stuff around in order to get to the walls, and some of her boxes still had water from the floods. Also, some parts of her house still had not dried up. Needless to say, there was a strong mold smell within those areas. We also helped clean up Tina's yard.
