The Town of Ironton, Louisiana Needs Your Help
The community was completely inundated by storm surge from catastrophic Hurricane Ida. Nearly all of the residents’ homes and the community church were either completely destroyed, seriously flooded, or seriously damaged by wind. And as you can see in the above picture, even caskets of family members were dislodged and scattered across the landscape.
