Mabel Brown
Hurricane survivor, mother, friend

Read the full story "Is living paycheck to paycheck a crime punishable by death in floodwater", as see on Beliefnet.com and in Guideposts Magazine.
Mabel's harrowing escape story touched the hearts of millions when the dramatic tale of how she saved herself and 18 members of her family was picked up by Beliefnet.com
Mabel swam herself and her kids through the sewage of New Orleans, she survived a night in the hell of the Super Done and by the time she got to my house in Snellville, GA she had transformed my neighborhood and a church into the kind of people we always wanted to be
Mabel put a human face on the suffering and showed every judgemental person who thought the chaos of New Orleans was Darwinism in action that they were dead flat wrong.
Mabel Brown was nominated for Beliefnet.com's most inspiring person of the year award and the Mabel Brown Education has been established by the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Gwinnett--we invite you to give now.
Mabel is currently working as a hotel maid in metro Atlanta, GA and is starting her own housekeeping business on the side. She is also workin on her GED.
