Summary
A devastating tornado tore through Avondale, demolishing homes and displacing over 175 people—including Rolonna Hills, who was pinned to her couch but survived with only bruises. As recovery stretches into months, the United Way of Southeast Louisiana is rallying the community to provide ongoing support, launching free disaster preparedness workshops this summer to help residents financially and mentally brace for future storms. For Hills, a fundraiser raised nearly $1,500—a hopeful start toward rebuilding her life. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
