Ashley - Home

New Orleans is unlike any other home

It is unique in every way

From the architecture

To the culture

To the people

Our homes are welcoming

and have that southern hospitality

Home is not Florida, Texas, Baton Rouge, or any other evacuee place

Home is where the heart is, and our hearts are here

Ashley, age 17
