As many residents of Westernport lost appliances, personal items, and vehicles during the flood on May 13, we did as well. We lost our only vehicle, washer & dryer, freezer, hundreds of dollars worth of clothes, decorations, and other personal items in our basement.

We have been blessed with donations to get our washer & dryer and freezer replaced. We just bought our car in February, still owing a little over $30,000 on the loan; insurance is covering $29,000. We did not have gap insurance, so we are responsible for the remainder of the loan, plus coming up with enough money for a down payment on a new vehicle. Any donation is greatly appreciated and will help take some of the stress away from this financial burden the flooding has caused.
