I told her to get out ASAP and check into a local motel at higher grounds...within hours her home was flooded, six feet of sewage tainted water in her living room. I flew in as soon as I could and was amazed at all the volunteers who had came to help a total stranger...I gave my work a 1 month notice (living in Seattle at the time) and move to Nashville to help her rebuild. During this time "The Village Chapel" church never having met my mother rebuilt her home for free. They are truly a church of God...never judging...never condemning...just loving others. Please watch this video, my mother is Mildred (the one that calls them the Village Peaple...lmbo). aj JAYsus_NL, ANGUS, Blackbart and 3 others 6

We drove through Nashville not long after and Opry Mills was still under water, unbelievable and sad. So glad there are people that care, your mother was truly blessed by them. HarryWeezer 1 Awards

I know lots of folks in Nashville and saw here first hand how bad it was. People are good and take care of each other when needed. Might be rough and dark sometimes, But we are going to make it. People like the "village people" make it a better place.. I'm glad to see your with her and Nashville is your home now.. Hope all is well! Awards
