Catholic Charities Continues Helping Flood Victims

Catholic Charities is trying to help more than 200 families in Horry County who are seeking still relief after the October floods.

"During the flood, the water came through my roof, and then damaged my room. I had two puddles on the bottom that soaked up through the floor," said Julia Brantley Molina, a flood victim in Conway.

Molina said her floors were ruined and her house was destroyed.

But now, a Mennonite Disaster Service Crew, led by project director Ron Murray, is in town fixing and repairing Molina's house.

"I say it's a vacation with a purpose, and we enjoy people getting their lives, as well as their dwellings, back together," said Murray.

The crew was sent to Molina's house by Catholic Charities, a group helping flood victims in Horry County.

"We have to step up and make sure the people in our county are taken care of. So we'll do it till it's done," said Kelly Kminski, of Catholic Charities.

"I am so happy. It's like a big burden has been lifted off me," said Julia. "Having a son with autism and having an aunt who is 95-years-old, her not being able to get in the kitchen because the floors are cracked. And now, she can wheel into the kitchen to get things she needs. The more independent she feels the better I feel."

Catholic Charities is searching for more construction crews who can assist local flood victims.
