Elizabeth and Earnest Garcia escaped through chest-high water and 4 a.m. darkness – a suitcase on Earnest’s shoulders, their granddaughter on Elizabeth’s. By the time the storm subsided, they hadn’t just lost their house and vehicle; Earnest had lost his construction truck and tools, and therefore the family’s main source of income. Without it, a full home rebuild was implausible. That is, until SBP stepped up, and turned the Garcias into Watt-jersey-wearing fanatics. (Courtesy of SBP)
