CAIRO, Ga. — Recovery fatigue, it's something that sets in after natural disasters.
Neighbors helping neighbors immediately following a disaster. It's a story that we've heard before. Unfortunately, that help tends to fade as life returns to normal.
Kellee Kennett and her husband are making sure that their neighbors don't feel left behind following the March 3 tornado. In the moments after the storm, that meant making sure others were safe.
In the following weeks, the Kennetts have delivered food and helped their neighbors get electricity vouchers from the Help Center, or found ways to recover documents so repairs and renovations can begin.
"I'm doing it for them because I want them to be whole again. I want them to, they love their homes. They worked hard to get their homes," said Kellee. "They deserve to have their homes back and that's why I'm trying to help them out."
The recovery efforts will be slow, but these residents will recover, further showing that Grady County is unbroken.
Kennett told WTXL that many of the homes in her neighborhood were not insured, because either the homeowners didn't know about it, or the cost was simply too much.
