Lake Charles Hurricane Relief- Medina Family

On 08/26/2020 Hurrican Laura, hit the coast of Louisiana as a Category 4 hurricane and made its way through  Lake Charles, LA. Many homes, business have been devastated and families displaced. 

Who is this helping?

My in-laws are an incredible group of 4 families with 8 children who homes were devastated by Hurricane Laura. They are a hardworking family who have never been in this position of hardship. They have worked all their lives to save up and pay off these homes and it was all taken away overnight. They do not have homeowners insurance that covers natural disasters. 

The Situation as of 08/28/2020 -3pm
The city does not have electricity or running water at the moment, with no idea as to when utilities will return. The 100mph winds tore off roofs and ripped walls, crushed ceilings, with excessive water damage. Their homes are inhabitable.  Combined with incoming rain are now making the salvation of their homes more difficult.



The Plan
They are seeking shelter nearby and trying to and are helping clear roads to make it easier for the city to put the power back up. Once that happens they will start rebuilding. Two members of the families work in construction and will be starting as soon as enough funds are raised and the city has power. 
This fundraiser is to help with the costs of rebuilding and repairing damages of their home. All remaining funds will go toward the repair of the neighboring homes.
