PENDER COUNTY, N.C. -- Pender County residents are still adjusting to life post-Florence, which includes spending the holidays in a trailer or hotel.

• Homes lining Whitestocking Road are completely gutted after floodwaters took over their whole community.
• All the trailers along the road were donated because FEMA doesn't place its trailers in flood zones.
• Community members say they still need more assistance while they get back to normal.

Homes lining Whitestocking Road are completely gutted after floodwaters took over their whole community.

Before someone donated resident Johnny Mack Brown a trailer, he was commuting to his daughter's house in Wilmington everyday. He said he needs to be home when people came to work on the house or when volunteers come around to help.

"See, we used to have to go all the way to Wilmington," said Brown. "And Wilmington back to Burgaw everyday. It kills you. Talking about like $50 a week just in gas, so that was too expensive, so God blessed us with this."

All the trailers along the road were donated because FEMA doesn't place its trailers in flood zones.

Community members say they still need more assistance while they get back to normal. If you have a trailer you would like to donate, the residents are near Sand Hill AME Church.
