Colorado has been my home since I was an itty bitty. Although I was not personally affected by the floods, I want to contribute to the rebuilding of the state I call home. Out of all the natural disasters to hit Colorado, floods would be on the bottom of my list of worries. It is safe to say I am not alone in this thought, considering only 10% of the victims have flood insurance. This "once-in-a-millennium storm" has left an inconceivable amount of damage and ruin. Homes hanging from newly formed cliffs. Roads completely washed away. Toxic spills of oil, gas and sewage laced the flood waters. The road to recovery is a steep one and your help is much appreciated.
