DUNAGIN TRANSPORT TAKES LAS VEGAS…. New Mexico that is.
At the beginning of August, 7 DT employees and their families were able to partner with Convoy of Hope to help offer relief to those affected by the Calf Canyon/Hermits Peak Fire in Las Vegas, NM. The fire started from a controlled burn that high winds carried away. This fire took place back in April 2022 -June 2022, burning 341,471 acres and over 1,000 homes. While many promises were made by the government and other agencies to help people get back on their feet, little follow through was shown.
This sparked members in the community to create the group Neighbors Helping Neighbors. Through Convoy of Hope and Neighbors Helping Neighbors we were able to lend a helping hand to a few families needing help.
One crew was able to help clear a roadway of debris left by the fire so that the electrical company could get in to re-establish electricity to the property. The second crew loaded, unloaded, and stacked around 600 sandbags along the road to prevent washout during their monsoon season. Our last group helped a couple stucco the exterior of their new home and built a porch like the one they had on their original home that was lost.
It was a great blessing to be able to help these people in need and to see how God has worked in their lives by bringing them back up from the ashes.
