Hurricane Harvey Relief
Hi, my name is Tasha Cooke and I am 37years old and live with my three children and one grandchild. We are still stuck in our home in Houston and are waiting for the Coast Guard or Red Cross to rescue and evacuate us. I know there are thousands of stories just like mine, and I thank you for taking the time to read about mine.
My16-year-old daughter is running out of her epilepsy medications and my 10 month-old grandchild is low on formula and the ceilings in my kitchen and living room have collapsed down around us. That is my driveway and my car in the photo. I am assuming FEMA will condemn the house, but right now I'm more concerned with how we're going to survive these next weeks, and even tomorrow.
I support my family but my place of employment, the Shipping Channel at the Port of Houston, is under 6 feet of water and I have no idea when it will open, which means I don't know when I'll be able to provide income for my family again.
I so much appreciate any help you are able to offer us at this time--your good thoughts and donations. We are all feeling so desperate and counting on others to help get us through.
In gratitude and god bless.
