Hello My Name is Heather Bullock, Logistics Manager from Robinson Stave and Cumberland Cooperage. This morning we received notice that a fellow manager had a devastating loss in her family related to the most recent flooding in Eastern Kentucky. I am asking for donations for her family, Amber Smith and Riley Noble, of the Montgomery Community of Knott County. Over the last week, Kentucky has amassed record-breaking rainfall in the state's southeastern counties. Some places reaching over 10 inches in a matter of a couple days. Governor Andy Beshear has called this "the worst, most devastating flooding events" the state has ever experienced.

On July 28th, the flood waters near their home in Eastern Kentucky rose so high their family took refuge on the roof of their home. Suddenly, the house gave way beneath as the current rushed through, and they were swept away along with their four children. The children aged 8, 6, 4, and 1 1/2 were separated from their family, after the second rush of waters tore them from a tree they had managed to hang on to with their parents. All four children perished.

I am asking for donations to help this family. I have linked the article reporting their story. Not only have they lost their home, but they lost the most important beings in their lives.
