Evacuees find new life with St John's church in Aiken
After evacuation from New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, Woods and Hawkins settled in Aiken with help from St John's Episcopal Church. They joined the community, received work and shelter, and helped other evacuees adjust. Several stayed, others returned home or moved on, while church members reflect on aid and faith.
