Ginelle Bess, executive director and president of Grassroots Redeeming Love — and a proud St. Louisan — saw the devastation left behind in North City and knew she had to act.

While the city works to mobilize broader support, Ginelle has spent every day on the ground in Fountain Park, leading recovery efforts and standing with those most affected.
Watch her interview with Elliot Davis for firsthand recovery updates from the field.
