VALLEY VIEW, Texas — This Memorial Day is unlike any other. The loading and unloading of supplies at the John Fortenberry Community Center is a clear example of unity.
“This is awesome, to be honest. From losing almost everything to at least having some food for my kids,” said Luis Jimenez, Valley View resident.late Saturday night. “Thank God I’m still alive. My family is still standing. I’m still standing,” said Jimenez.“This community blows me away,” said Pamela Wiebe,The food they collected was initially for their annual Memorial Day event. It is now being donated to volunteers and families impacted by the storm.
“I always look for the helpers, and we don’t have to look very far. The helpers are here,” said Wiebe. “You may not have any money to give but you have you.” “I think it brings people closer too. You know? They could be strangers and you meet somebody for the first time. Friendship develops out of this,” said a volunteer at the community center.
On a day set to honor those who sacrificed and have gone before us, this Memorial Day is also a salute to these heroes still here. Volunteers at the community center told WFAA they are in need of more tarps for family homes.
