"It was the longest drive back home. As I was driving into Lake Charles, you could just see the devastation. It looked like match sticks like bombs had just gone off. The damage was everywhere. My heart sank. Everything was twisted and fallen. I think I was in shock. Eight Days of Hope came to my door and called me by my name. The volunteers that came to serve me were the most incredible people I have ever met. Without them, I hate to use the word hopeless, but it seemed pretty close to that. Eight days ago, I didn’t have hope. Today, I can finally breathe. Thank you so much."

- Marcy, Lake Charles, Louisiana

“We called Eight Days of Hope, and they came with volunteers. Eight Days of Hope Rapid Response is doing what we can’t do. This is the body of Christ working together at its best.”

- Pastor Steve, Cedar Rapids, IA

“It is amazing. Believers from all walks of life, all ages, cities, and towns coming together all for the glory of God. Rapid Response is a God-send, and I don’t know where this neighborhood would be without Rapid Response.”

- Adam and Whitney, EDOH volunteers from Kentucky
