On Tuesday, May 28th around 6 AM in the morning, our power went off because of the strong winds that knocked down utility poles. We had to wait almost 4 days before the electricity was completely restored. A lot of people in our area lost their perishable food, but we were able to save all our refrigerated and frozen food because of our generator. Our Generac generator was able to keep the kitchen open, and then at night we switched the power to our dorm. Our generator turned into a life savior. I want to thank all the donors who financially helped us purchase this generator after the February 2021 rolling black out fiasco. During those miserable days in February 2021, we had 60+ hours of no power – without a generator. Finally, I want to Thank our largest generator donor, Dr. Travis Stembridge from Wichita. He lived at Soul’s Harbor in the 1950s with his grandfather, Jake Stembridge, who founded Soul’s Harbor along with Ralph Whittle.

Thank you, again for keeping our electricity going.
