Help with Flood Relief for Dianna

Hello, my name is Stephen Kelley from Independence, MO., and I need help for my Mother, Dianna Bush.

Historic floods have swept through the midwest, putting many small towns in Eastern Missouri under gallons of icy, sewage-filled water. My Mother lives in one such town, Pacific, Mo, and her house was completely wrecked earlier this week. She is trying to raise funds to get new things to replace flood damaged furniture and other belongings, and move closer to the rest of her family near Kansas City, Mo.

She is retired, and lives on a fixed income that cannot easily cover the costs of something like this. Right now she is sleeping in a shelter while her dog sleeps in a vet's office nearby. Please help if you can. I also, do not have the money to handle aa situation like this and am asking for help.

Update: My mother is currently at my house and we are in the process of letting her rest. Hopefully Monday we can start calling around to get her a new place. Gofundme asked for more info on what we are going to do with the donations, so here goes.

1. Who you are and where you’re from

Stephen Kelley, Independence, MO

2. Your relationship or contact to the parties you're raising funds for

Dianna is my Mother

3. How the funds will be spent (be specific as possible)

We will use the money for first month's rent on a new apartment/house. If any is left we will try to re-purchase things that were lost in the flood and get food. I will be helping with this as well.

4. Your withdrawal plan to get the funds from the campaign to the ultimate beneficiary/ies

My Mother needs a new bank account here, once she does that, we will traansfer the money directly into it.
