Louisiana 4-H members and LSU AgCenter agents have been offering hope, help and supplies to communities recovering from Hurricane Laura’s statewide trail of devastation.
Former Cameron Parish 4-H’er Maeleigh Conner has seen it all. When she was 5, Hurricane Rita destroyed everything her family owned. Now, Hurricane Laura has torn out shingles, siding and vents, causing significant water and structural damage to their home on Big Lake.
“It was scary,” Conner said. “We prepared ourselves to come back to nothing at all.”
