After living in poor conditions since the April storms, the Greene County community has worked together to make sure The Hunley family had a liveable home for this Christmas.
Just a few days ago, the Hunley's were living in unsafe conditions caused by the tornado that hit the county 8 months ago.?
"When the tornado came, it ripped our floors up; we had to rebuild those just to get us through because, you know, we had family members that lost everything, and we were more focused on them," Allison Hunley explained.
Allison's husband Sam lost his job shortly after the storms. Since then, he's spent his time volunteering to help other people get back on their feet.
AIDNET, a Greene County organization, heard the Hunley's story and wanted to help.? They teamed up with Hardin's Chapel Church to purchase and remodel a new mobile home for the Hunleys.
The Hunleys couldn't be happier.
"There's so much more room! There's no mold for me to have to worry about my children's health. This is the best thing that's happened to our family ever," they told 10 News on Saturday.
Greene County was one of the areas hardest hit by April's tornadoes. 7 people were killed, and dozens of homes and buildings were destroyed.
