CEDC Workers Make the News...for Flooded Basement
Submitted by cedc on

CEDC's Executive Director and Assistant Director made the local news yesterday. Unfortunately it was because of a flooded basement and not something more positive. The video and transcript excerpts come from ABC-7 News.

A home belonging to the Sisters of the Sacred Heart in Northeast was soaked when a gutter backed up and rain came flooding down the walls inside.

"It's God's cleanup," said Sister Kit Collins.

With a power vacuum and a lot of elbow grease, co-worker and friend Will Simpson rushed to their aid.

"I am very grateful," Sr. Collins said. "He is one of the most generous people I know."

The hope was to get the carpet dried out before mold and mildew could set in.

"I am allergic to mold and mildew so, you know, the lungs don't take it to well," Sr. Collins said.
