New Orleans Christmas.

21December 05. New Orleans, Louisiana. New Orleans Louisiana. Post Katrina aftermath.
Jackie Russell stands outside her devastated home at 2416 Desire Street in the 9th Ward long after the devastating flood from Hurricane Katrina subsided. Jackie just wants to return home and had until this point been emotionally unable to deal with gutting the house she grew up in. Her hope is to be able to repair her house and bring her elderly mother back home before she dies. Jackie was only able to save a few precious china items, the rest of her house and all her belongings had to be thrown in the street.
