Help NEEDED!
OK, most people are now talking about the recent flash flooding here in our town as a past event, and not really even noticeable today.
Well…I just left the house of some friends who’s home was one of the hardest hit! It was obviously in the path of one of the big waves of water.
The windows in the back of the house all broke out and the water gushed in…..once the basement filled to the top…..the water broke out the windows in the front. From that point on for half an hour they had a river flowing through their home.
One of the saddest parts is the Parents of this home are severing a mission in another country and are the Leaders over many missionaries. So the young family that lost everything where living in the basement house sitting!
Insurance dose not cover this…because it is considered an act of God. Today we took them some new shoes, and socks and a few other items, but they are in need of so much more.
They have kids between the ages of 4 – 17, and are in need of clothing, socks, underwear, along with many other items. If you think about loosing everything in your home, that is what they lost.
-Hairspray, shampoo, curling irons, soap, mirrors, towels, pillows, beds, sheets…..the list just keeps going.
We will be collecting for this family and others who are in need in our town. They are basically starting over, and having to move immediately, so we are also fundraising to help them get a new start.
