Overcoming the recent flood in Southwest Missouri requires the network of
a good community. Flood relief efforts after clean up are now getting
families back into their homes. On May 8, 2017, free beds and helping
hands were donated to 15 families of the Neosho, MO flood by Joplimo
Mattress and the Nazarene Church
“Homes were flooded by a wall of water near the old Benton County
school” explains Pastor Dustin Ledford. Residents, Christina Brock and
her Dad, Gene Brock of Stratford Place that runs along the back of the
school "We were told to not keep our flooded mattresses from our home
due to mold...". They had expected to let their mattresses dry out and use
them again; but now have brand new beds! The donation station was Casa
Jaziel Iglesia del Nazareno in Neosho, MO. Community and church
members helped unload the semi truckload of mattresses, boxsprings and
bed frames; then loaded local residents with beds to transport to nearby
homes. The Estrada family, pictured here with their 3 children and 2
additional children not pictured, were full of tears wiped away and beyond
grateful for the donation. A hand shake between the Estrada family with
Joplimo Mattress owner, Brian Croft, was the sincere thank you exchanged
of no words.
