Help my cousin Martha Gangwer recover from flood damage.
Donation protected
Hi. My name is Martha Robinson and I'm fundraising for my cousin, Martha Gangwer (yes, we were both named after our Grandmother).
On Tuesday night, July 1st, the town of Verona, Virginia received 8 inces of rain. When she woke up at 6:30am, Martha's back yard was flooded, as was the front and her neighbor's yard. She lives beside a stream that has never flooded before, but 2 cedar trees fell over in the running water somewhere upstream, diverting all the water to the pasture and it had nowhere else to go. Martha's basement was flooded, and she narrowly avoided having the water enter the main floor. Her oil furnace and oil tank were damaged beyond repair, and the panelling is now soaked and beginning to mildew and mold. Her insurance is not covering it. She is getting some help from Church friends, but will need to buy a heat pump and mini-splits, and pay for cleaning out the basement and possibly remediating mold.
For all her life, Martha has helped other people in need. Now she needs a hand. Will you help with a donation? Every bit helps!
