Help Lisa and Lily rebuild!
Donation protected
Last Wednesday, Lisa’s apartment was flooded from a septic back-up. Her landlords did not offer to help, they just put her belongings outside in garbage bags, breaking many cherished items. When Lisa called police to the scene, the landlord was not arrested because they agreed to rent her a storage unit, which they reneged on. They threw Lily's toys in bags with septic water-filled towels, as well as their own garbage in bags with her belongings. After ignoring Lisa’s texts, simply asking if they could put a tarp over the bags because it was going to rain, they texted "best of luck." and that’s it.
Lisa is a single mom to Lily and works so very hard to give Lily a good life. She purposely got this apartment so Lily could be close to her dad and stay at her same school. Lisa is now staying with her dad, Lily is temporarily with her dad, and Lisa needs help picking up the pieces, replacing broken/dirty/wet belongings and finding a new apartment (she needs first/last/deposit) She was not prepared for this. Anything you can find in your heart to give, I know Lisa and Lily would so very much appreciate it.
