YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSharon Reed shares the story of 70-year-old Theophilus Charles, who stayed behind and completely lost his Houma, Louisiana home as Hurricane Ida tore through the state.
The house has been in Charles’ family since his grandmother purchased it centuries ago, and he says it hurts to lose it. “I was born here, we went through all the major hurricanes here,” says Charles. “So, I figure I'll stay here and ride this one out. I couldn't, things just start falling apart, blowing away. I ain't got a dry spot in the house. My roof fell, I lost all my clothes, my furniture, my appliances, everything. Right now, I've got nothing.” The elderly man is now begging for help, adding that you simply can’t repair what he’s lost.
All this and more on “Start Your Day.”
