In this next episode we meet Ferrell Alman. When Hurricane Katrina unleashed its fury on Gulfport, Mississippi, it left behind a city in ruins—landmarks erased, homes shattered, lives forever altered. Among those caught in the storm’s path was Mr. Alman, a local business owner whose own home and family were affected. But Ferrell didn’t retreat from the devastation. He stepped forward.

We'll hear Ferrell’s remarkable story of resilience and compassion. Rather than succumb to despair, he turned his home and his business into lifelines for those who had lost everything. His actions helped spark a wave of recovery and hope in a city struggling to find its footing.

Ferrell shares how Katrina reshaped Gulfport, how neighbors became lifelines, and how a community found strength in unity. His story is a testament to the power of local leadership and the extraordinary good that can come when people choose to care.

“You survive, you persevere... you just learn how to adapt, and your whole world kind of changes.” —Ferrell Alman

Ferrell Alman isn’t just a business owner—he’s a cornerstone of Gulfport’s recovery and a shining example of what it means to show up when it matters most.
