At the time, they weren't sure how to get back on their feet, and they had little safety net. @AllenK_81, a Good Samaritan, was bringing them meals. But they were otherwise spinning their wheels and counting pennies closely. 2/
I heard from Skyla Thomas today. A small law firm with a charitable foundation offered each Thomas sister $2,000.
That won't go extremely far, but Skyla says it's enough to get out of the hotel and into an apartment in Lafayette, closer to their home town of Lake Charles. 3/

The two Thomas sisters and the rest of their families will share the apartment to save money for now. She was amazed by the kindness of strangers throughout this process.
Their homes in Lake Charles are still destroyed following Hurricane Laura in August. But it's a start. 4/4
