In the wake of three historic storms, people in Lake Charles, Louisiana, were left to largely fend for themselves. With the federal government’s slow response to the storms, many residents struggled to meet their basic needs.

In this episode, we follow Roishetta as she becomes the safety net for a city that the federal government neglected.
