Angels and Quilt Pieces .....Our Journey with a Katrina Family
By Stephanie Ehmen
Following Hurricane Katrina, Stephanie Ehmen and her husband, Randy, wanted to help those who had been left homeless. When the Thornton family was brought to the shelter where they were volunteering, Randy and Stephanie accepted the challenge of “Sponsoring” the Thornton family.
They spent the following months helping the Thornton’s through the grief of their loss and the further stress and trauma of resettling in a new city. While the parents dealt with their emotions and struggles, Randy and Stephanie spent many hours playing with the children, giving them love and reassurance that they desperately needed.
By utilizing their faith in God and the support of many friends, Randy and Stephanie have become “co-parents” with Mr. Thornton as he struggles to raise these kids who he loves so much.
