GID YODER “What really is a highlight to me when you talk to somebody and they’re down and they’ve lost everything and, after you’re helping them come back and you could just see the spirit rises as progress is being made and the faces light up and it just means a lot to me to see that.”
Gid Yoder of MDS and Disaster Aid Ohio got up early each morning to coordinate groups of Amish volunteers and visit homeowners in Selma, Alabama.
YOLANDA GEORGETTE MOORE “I lost my mom in 2015 and my dad last year. If it weren’t for the volunteers, I wouldn’t have anything. Things aren’t easy the way they used to be. People used to take what money came in, and build a house. The volunteers took my situation seriously. I can hear it in their voices.”
Standing on the street in front of her home, Yolanda Georgette Moore asked Gid Yoder: “What motivates you to help people?” Yoder replied: “Because I grow spiritually more than I ever imagined.”
