Early this morning a flood once again devastated the home of a neighbor. This travesty is the second time their house has been severely damaged by flood waters in the last year.
The cause of the flooding is a collapsed culvert on the property of a local golf course. Today's flood not only wreaked havoc on this family and their home, it caused damage to three other homes.
This family is in desperate need of financial support. They do not have flood insurance as these homes are not in a flood plain. After the first flood, they were unable to get flood insurance. For over a year, we have fought with the golf course owner while seeking assistance from the local homeowners association, the county, the state, and the Army Corps of Engineers. With one exception, efforts to force the country to make repairs and been met with handwringing and finger pointing.
We will continue to fight on their behalf, but, in the meantime, they need all the financial support they can get. Please dig in your pocket and give anything you can afford.
I know these are trying times and a lot of people are out of work. Please consider your financial situation and imagine that your home was flooded on top of everything else.
Thank you in advance.
