OSC Helps Fire Fighter




OSC was honored to be able to help out Fire Fighter Josh Punch recover from the effects of Katrina. Josh spent all of his time during the emergency helping others and suffered many of the same misfortunes as his friends and neighbors......
Our volunteers managed to gut his damaged home and rebuild in just three (3) months and here we see that the ribbon cutting was accomplished!
The lights are on and somebody IS home!!!
Update May 6-2009
It's Official!!!!

Yesterday morning (May 5th, 2009) St. Bernard Parish Inspectors signed off on the final inspection of Josh Punch's home!!! Now all he needs to do is transfer the electric meter to his home and turn it on (at first I wrote "fire it up" but thought a poor choice of words).

He still does not have his appliances and is not sure when he will be moving in, but for all intents and purposes, another home finished!!!

Thank you to all who helped make this process happen. It was about a five month process from when the permit was first issued. Could not have done it without you! On to the next home!!!!
