My Sons Recovery From LA. Flooding
Donation protected
Hi,
My FB, Twitter Friends and Family...it is with a heavy heart that I come before you today to ask for monetary help, something that I've never done. No, it is not for me, but, for my oldest son and his family who lost EVERYTHING that they owned in the recent flood here in south Louisiana, our home that we love dearly!
They did all that they could do in taking the proper channels to sign up for help from FEMA, etc. However, they just got word today, that FEMA is not going to help them!! I am so devastated, hurt, angry and every emotion that one can have to hear this!! Good people have to suffer for the bad, as they say. During hurricane Katrina, bad people took advantage of the generosity from FEMA, now they are (seems like) picking and choosing who they will help!
My son is a hard working man that provides for his family. He wants to do it on his own, but, needs help! He lost his home, his furniture, his clothes, EVERYTHING, except his vehicle. These THINGS can be replaced, but, for someone who is not rich, it takes TIME.
Myhubby and I have helped monetarily, gave them a place to stay, but, they are hoping to buy a travel trailer, that already has furniture in it, to live in and save some money to purchase a piece of property and build them a comfortable "Forever home."
As most of you know, my hubby and I just purchased our Forever home, bought a tractor, had to replace the A/C system, new plumbing and other things which kind of tapped us out as far as helping any more for them monetarily.
I'm sure all of you have seen on the news the devastation that Louisiana received through the flood. I have prayed that EVERYONE, all of my fellow Louisianians will receive the help that they need to rebuild their lives, ESPECIALLY my son and his family.
With all that being said, I hope that you can find it in your heart to contribute to our cause and if their is anything that I can do to return the favor, know that I will.
I know that this day and time it is hard for EVERYONE to maintain because EVERTHING is so expensive. So, whatever you can give no matter how small, please know that we APPRECIATE it and know that God will bless you for doing so!
This is my son and his family, MY family, whom I love dearly and would do ANYTHING that I could do to help them! Please help me show them, that people really do CARE about others!
XOXO,
