The SECOND FEMA trailer (a Park-model mobile home) that we lived in. It is actually the THIRD one that was delivered. The second delivered trailer did not meet Carla's needs. This trailer is also on the property of Sovereign Grace Fellowship. Carla & I are still living in it, as we await the completion of our new house.

The front door entryway showing the lack of a "step up" to get into the house. The front porch was only a couple of inches lower than the main slab. A little slope was all it took for Carla to get across the threshold.
