Katrina Survivor KENNETH BELL Finds a Home!
I am happy to report that after much searching, I was able to find some wonderful East Ridge citizens (Eddie and Wendy Parrot) to provide a home to Katrina Survivor Kenneth Bell (center in photo) for "as long as it takes."
Kenneth Bell was a resident of New Orleans until recently. The aftermath of Katrina (specifically, the levee breaking) forced him and his family out of the area. After the levee broke, he escorted his elderly father and mother two and half miles to the Convention Center. There they departed in different directions. His parents went to Baton Rouge and he came to Chattanooga where he knew an employer and could find work.
Rev. John Taylor's church (East Third Street Church of Christ) has been helping Kenneth with clothing, food, and transportation. If you would like to help Kenneth Bell, let me know at 493-0266.
The Friends to Elect John Bailes will provide a cookout for Kenneth Bell and other survivors as soon as Mr. Bell is settled into his new home.
