Several months ago we brought you the story of a local man whose house was destroyed in April's tornados.

  Now the community has finally raised enough money to help him rebuild his home.

Tim Allen's home in Section was completely destroyed when a tornado ripped through on April 10th.

  Allen is disabled and unable to work.

  He can't afford insurance, so he was left homeless, but his church and others came together to help raise funds.

     Then they volunteered to build him a new home.

   This weekend the volunteers were able to start building.

   Tim Allen said, "I appreciate everyone helping me and coming out here and stuff and I know they're taking their time and I'm thankful for it though, very thankful."

The volunteers still need several thousand dollars to finish the inside of the home.

     They also need more people to help with construction.

  For more information call the Sand Mountain Baptist Association at (256) 451-3750.
