One of those people is Nono Luis, who has been helping others for over a decade. He went out and bought a chainsaw to help, spending six hours of his day volunteering, and said it was amazing to see the community come together so quickly.

“That is so rewarding you don’t think about anything else,” he said. “Like just, I don’t know, to help people in need I cannot express it — it’s something that is part of our humanity. And you only feel it when you do it.”
