Thomas lost almost everything after Hurricane Helene brought over seven inches of water into his home, damaging it beyond repair.
The only thing Thomas knew that would help him recover was to pray for God’s assistance. Thankfully, Samaritan’s Purse was able to provide Thomas a new home that will help bring peace back into his life after Helene.
