The family bought the house sight unseen after receiving orders to serve at Dyess. Upon arrival in early May, they were welcomed to their new home with mold and mildew covering the baseboards. After treating the house, the couple lives upstairs away from the damaged area but is forced to shower outside without a bathroom to use.
Gordon Storey, with the Dyess We Care Team, said that because they are not affiliated with the Department of Defense, they are relying on the community's help.
'It does not happen a lot. I'm afraid this is the first time in 25 years of the Dyess We Care Team that we've had a family run into this particular situation. We're at the point that we can't help because we're not licensed, we're not contractors at all,' Storey said.
