A New Jersey plumber and his family drove for more than 20 hours to Texas to help storm victims who otherwise would have faced weeks without clean water.
Andrew Mitchell, whose dream to become a licensed plumber became a reality earlier this year, felt like “it was his calling” to go and help, his wife, Kisha Pinnock, told Fox News.
So Mitchell packed up the family car in Morristown with thousands of dollars’ worth of supplies and prepared for the 22-hour journey with one goal in mind: “to make a difference.”
After the brutal winter storm ruptured pipes in the Lone Star state, leaving millions without access to clean water, there was a rallying cry from Texas-based plumbers for help, Pinnock said.
