NEW ORLEANS - Donna Breax was born, raised, married, became a mom and a grandma on Farmside Road. 

It's the only road she's ever traveled. Seven years ago she lost her childhood home because of Katrina. She put a camper up on the same land she use to reach into and pull worms out of as a little girl.

Then the St Bernard Parish Project came to her rescue. They rebuilt her life. She knows her life has changed but is so grateful to still be living on Farmside Road.
