Help The Stark Family Rebuild After a Disaster
Donation protected
We are the Stark family. On June 18th, 2024, we experienced a major disaster within our home. On this day, a storm came and delivered about 7" of rain in the town of Keewatin. Due to our location in the town, we are one of the last houses to the sewage treatment center. The treatment center was unable to keep up with the demand. The main sewer line was so full it was raising the sewer manhole covers off the manholes. Our check valve in our sewer system broke from the pressure causing around 10" of sewage to come into our home. Also, after the storm, we discovered that our main sewer line has collapsed and we will need a complete new sewer system. We do have Home Owner's insurance but it's not nearly enough to cover all the damage.
We didn't have a lot of time to save belongings downstairs. We have a split-level home and our daughters took the bottom level as their area. Due to everything that has happened, our daughters have lost just about everything that they owned. On top of that, they have been living at Grandma's house. We have been working day and night to clean our house. With all this said, we received a ton of support from Family, Friends, and Neighbors to help remove walls, sheetrock, flooring, furniture, appliances, clothing, and beds.
Some pictures of the damage below. Will add more photos as we go.
Thank you all so much.
