A Message from my friend Sara

Marmet family of Mulvey, LA lost home and all possessions to tropical storm-strength winds.


MULVEY, LA – The Marmet family of Meridian Line Road in Mulvey, LA suffered a devastating loss on the morning of Thursday, September 13, when a tornado spawned by the landfall of Hurricane Humberto destroyed their home and the majority of their possessions. The family of three – Sonny, Megan, and daughter Kalie (age 7) – had only recently moved into the home following nearly a year and a half of major renovations and repairs. Without the aid of homeowner’s insurance, the Marmet family must now begin the process of rebuilding their lives. Family members of the Marmets have launched www.helpthemarmets.com to raise funds in order to assist with this process. Visitors to the site can read news coverage of the devastation of the Marmet home, make secure donations via Paypal, leave notes of support, and read updates on the family’s progress. While both Sonny and Megan are employed, the task at hand requires far greater resources than are available. Monetary contributions of all sizes are equally needed and appreciated, and will be used solely to assist the family in their efforts to rebuild. Family member Sara Hebert, sister to Megan and “Tee-Taunt” (aunt) to Kalie, created and administers the site. Those wishing to donate items or make special arrangements to help the Marmet family may contact Sara at Hebert.sara@gmail.com.
