Sterling, Co Tornado Family Assistances needed
Donation protected
On memorial day a tornado hit sterling Colorado, and ripped the roof off the apartment building that our daughter and her family have lived in since relocating from Florida 2 years ago. Jessica works full time as a guard at the Colorado state prison and her husband Shane is a full time caregiver for their two boys, ages 5 and 1.
Unfortunately, they did not have renters insurance and lost almost everything in their apartment due to water damage.
There is no FEMA assistant as this was an isolated tornado, and it is a very small town with limited resources.
This young family is going to have to self pay for hotel living until they can find a new home, which are very limited in the area.
The management / owner of the apartment complex is offering no assistance to this family and it does not appear as if they will be able to ever return to this apartment.
They had literally just become settled and established in this new home after taking the brave move of leaving all of their families and support system in Florida- this is simply devastating for them. My wife, our son and I are doing all we can from Florida, but it’s just not enough.
Things can be replaced, and they are together and safe, but their basic needs for a roof over their heads and stability until they can start over have to be addressed urgently.
Every dime helps. Thank you so much for your generosity.
