What People Say… “Thank you is really not adequate for your time, dedication and service to our Denton County Taskforce, but Thank You!!! Knowing that the showers were available at the end of a long day helped many trudge on through the slop and muck of Hurricane Ike. This mission that you and your wife have undertaken is going to reach many people who do not have anything positive to hold on too, and I thank GOD that he has workers in the field such as you to help our fellow man.” Kind Regards, “You certainly deserved a lot of credit for what you did for us and the residents of Bacliff/San Leon. You’ve got a great program there and I hope you are able to capture the interest of an organization that can help you sustain the effort.” Paul Siebert
“I can't put in words how thankful I am for the showers
and how you cared for us while in Bacliff. You are a great person
and a true "giver;" this world is a better place because
of people like you. Thanks!!!”
"I want to say Thank You. I was part of the Denton County Task Force that
pulled into Bacliff on Thursday, Sept 18th. The power (and fans) were
questionable after searching in San Leon all day; but, the 23:00 hour shower
was definitely refreshing. After two nights of garden hose showers, hot
water was welcome. Thanks!" "First responders, by nature, are there to help people through a crisis. They put their own comforts aside for a period of time in order to help their fellow man. When the fatigue of helping encroaches on the ability to help, a warm shower washes away the dirt, sweat, and challenges of the day. We are renewed with a fresh strength to go on with our task of helping those we are there for. The shower truck makes our job easier on us." Philip Thomas, NREMT-P “When Hurricane Rita took a direct hit at Lake Charles, the city was devastated. After long days in the heat and humidity, a sponge bath of Purel simply didn't do the trick. Your portable shower facility will prove a Godsend should the need arise again.” Jim Serra "One of the great needs for First Responders and volunteers after Katrina was a way for them to clean up after a hard day of mucking thorough debris. With running water not being available for week, First Responders had to take sponge baths in attempts to stay clean. Your shower truck would have been a gift from Heaven following Katrina." Dave Vincent “Man that truck looks great!! I just want you to know that you have done well with that project and it will be well used and very appreciated by the responders at any disaster scene. As one that has used similar shower units, it does so much for us to support our efforts. It makes our job easier on us. Thanks again, it is an awesome truck.” Philip Thomas, NREMT-P “We spent many days I spent in Pascagoula and Biloxi after Katrina in desperate need of a good shower. We finally got a mobile shower unit and it felt like real luxury just to get a wet shower -- warm wasn't always part of the package, but water is water. When a shower unit finally rolled in it didn't take long to get used to having a shower every day. You even thought about warm water! God bless you. I am so proud of what you and Donna have done. You have made Aiken proud as well.” Tim Mansell “Two lessons I learned from Hurricane Katrina, First Responders and volunteers, need a hot meal at the end of the day and a nice warm shower. These two items are essential if you are going to have good morale. While a hot meal could be found after Katrina, it was harder to find a place to take a shower. Your Emergency Shower Truck is something needed in any major disaster.” Dave
