Day Family Emergency Relocation
Donation protected
This fund provides relief for Michael & Alison Day's emergency landslide relocation. We have permanently lost our home and land. We are safe and have a place to stay lined up temporarily thanks to the generosity of all.
Tuesday night the rain in Kalama was deafening and in the early morning hours, a there was a rumbling like thunder outside. Wednesday morning most of our hillside cliff had fallen away in a massive landslide which placed our house in immediate danger. There was no open route to the freeway due to other landslides and Kalama's extreme flooding.
Once the roads opened Thursday, we were immediately ordered by the county to evacuate. The landslide continues to leak and sink daily. We have returned several times to the site to assist with expensive emergency measures to prevent further sliding under the house. We can now quickly evacuate our belongings and permanently abandon the property as condemned. Insurance will not cover the damage, which is now over $100,000 and rising. As you can imagine we are quite in shock as we leave our home and dreams behind.
Many of you know we are the caretakers of a large animal facility at our home, putting us in the position of needing to move immediately with 10 pets. The up-front costs of the emergency services deployed and our swift relocation from the dangerous property are staggering. We thank the Lord no one was injured and we are together safe this holiday season, with the support and love of family and friends. Thank you for any and all assistance in this devastating moment.
