In the KS there are 1,022 families still living in tents one year after the tsunami. Night after night people were sleeping on wet ground. Winds and rains blew the tents down and they would have to be reinstalled. Loss of sleep was accompanied by loss of hope. Compassion Frisco responded to the plea from Mr. Y to try to provide some kind of flooring for the tents so that residents could sleep dry.

Compassion Frisco approached Catholic Relief Services about this massive need. The director of CRS gladly accepted the challenge, made arrangements for the wood and nails to be ordered and delivered. After a month of working through complex procedures to guarantee that the wood was legal (not wood from trees that were clear cut), the first trucks made the difficult journey to KS over roads that had been severely eroded by the tsunami, and delivered the wood for the flooring. Collaboration is the name of the game.
