Hello everyone! We are two sisters-in-law, Carrie Adase and Jessica
Moran Hickey, who are coming together to help our sister and brothers,
Carinne Bach, Robert Moran and Christopher Bach in the wake of
Hurricane Sandy. We know that there are so many people in need, so we
appreciate any help that you can give. Please read their stories below.
CARINNE AND ROB'S STORY:
Carinne and Rob tragically lost
their home, in Breezy Point, Queens, NY, during Hurricane Sandy on
October 29th, 2012. The loss of this house is painful on a variety of
levels. This not only is the first home that Carinne and Rob have
owned together after getting married in 2010, it is also Carinne's
childhood home that she inherited from her father after his passing in
2008. While losing a home is a horrific event, losing a home that is
tied to deep memories of a lost parent makes it even more devastating.
While they do have home owners insurance, many who live in Breezy
Point are not covered by flood insurance due to the extremely high
cost. As a result, this tragedy has left many wondering how they will
begin to rebuild, especially considering the entire community was
simply wiped out due to wide spread fires and flooding. While they
will look into receiving aid from FEMA, that will not cover the cost
of a total loss. They have simply lost everything and the cost is not
something they can take on alone. To make the situation even worse,
Carinne and Rob are expecting their first child in April and now have
no home to bring that child to when she is born.
While the rebuilding process will take a considerable amount of
time, Jessica and I would like to try and help our brothers and sister
rebuild in anyway that we can. If any of our friends and family would
like to donate to help Carinne, Rob and Chris, we would very much
appreciate any help you could give.

From the bottom of our hearts, Jessica and I would like to thank
you all.
