Disaster From A Kid's Point Of View

By Maggie, age 13

I live in Arkansas, as you know we had a terrible ice storm, and my family lost a lot of things. We had no power for two weeks and my family had no house! We are very thankful for the Red Cross, they brought food to everyone (my mom and I helped deliver every day). Since we had no house and no insurance on our "broken" home, we called FEMA. My mom was the fist to call, from our area, and we received money for our house and a place to stay until we got a new house. I would like to thank you and the entire FEMA team because if it wasn't for you I could not be sitting here in my own room typing you this letter of thanks!
