More about Jason's Holler
When everyone lost water, Jason built hot water pumps for all his neighbors.
Then he made sure that all the kids in his holler got a new pair of shoes of their own choosing."We have water!!! It aint city, but it aint a 5 gallon bucket, and a hot shower will do wonders for the soul, hit me up and ill let ya know how we got it together and the rough cost for everything you need, thanks to everyone who helped us accomplish this small, but daunting task." - Jason
