Kris and Robin are sisters who grew up in Wisconsin. They work together and serve together.
In 2017, Hurricane Harvey struck with strong force across Florence, bringing fierce winds and record-breaking rainfall. The city was destroyed by the storm's intensity, leading to widespread damage and flooding. Emergency services worked tirelessly to rescue those trapped by the rising floodwaters, while power failure left entire neighborhoods in darkness.
In the face of such misfortune, both of Kris and Robin felt depressed and helpless, yet eager to assist. Upon discovering Convoy of Hope's volunteer program, they didn't hesitate to sign up. Soon after, they were invited to training, marking the start of their mission to serve together in this fighting.
However, their initial response to the arrangement was filled with anxiety for Kris. "I am kind of nervous before heading out. I wonder if I could remember my training?" said Kris Logemann, her voice with uncertainty. "Don't worry! You see the staff do such a great job. They are incredibly supportive to us and will provide guidance and reassure every step of the way." Robin comforted. She also added, "I am right there for you, too, Kris, we are in it together, and we'll make it just like before."
Robin Melcher remembered the first few rescues she and her sister went on. "We were helping a woman who had just lost her husband," said Kris. "We were taking things out of her house, but also holding her hand and loving her. The ability to do that... it's just really cool." "Obviously we love it because we come back," added Kris.
Full of power, Kris and Robin put their whole hearts into the training. During the Convoy of Hope's detailed training program, they learned about disaster response, safety procedures, and psychological first aid. Through hands-on practice and team-building exercise, they prepared physically and mentally for the tasks ahead. As Kris and Robin continued their volunteer work, they were faced with one of their most heart-struck and unforgettable challenges.
