What caring for community looks like
Showing up for Donna.
Donna had already gone 10 days without water. She had been told the debris would need to be cleared first, but much of her water line lay beneath trees and debris left by Hurricane Isaias. Robert estimates that the line stretched roughly 200 yards.
Robert had one goal: get Donna’s water back on. He turned the water on and followed the line, listening for running water. He worked through the debris and repaired four leaks as he found them. When the work was done, water was running at Donna’s home again.
Getting the water running was the immediate goal. Making sure Donna has safe, functioning access to water is the commitment.
Restoring the water was an important first step. Honey Bee plans to return and help with other plumbing concerns so Donna can have the safe, functioning access to water every person deserves.
This is why community matters so much to us. Plumbing may be our trade, but caring for people is at the heart of how we want to use it. Sometimes helping means fixing a difficult problem. Sometimes it begins by listening. Either way, we want our neighbors to know it is okay to reach out.
