The David Carnley Slab

If you have seen concrete work before, this series of pictures might be boring to you. If so, feel free to scan through them quickly. However, I would like to point out that this concrete work was done by Mark Bean Construction Company of Newton, Texas. The funding for this entire project comes from several sources: The Moody Memorial First United Methodist Church Permanent Endowment Fund (PEF); Rita Recovery, an agency of The United Methodist Church; and Church World Service. The major labor will come from the Mennonite Disaster Service. The management of this project was made possible by Self Help Housing of East Texas (SHHET), a 501(C)3, Texas non-profit corporation that was established to provide housing. 

In Short, this project was made possible by a group of faith based and non-profit organizations and a local businessman, Mark Bean, willing to donate resources to help those who need help. Where is our government in our time of need in East Texas? A lot of money has flowed into East Texas; yet, those organizations that are really helping (like SHHET) have to scramble to raise funds from a variety of sources.
