Help Mark rebuild after devastating home flood
Donation protected
Hi everyone, my name is Shiloh, and I’m reaching out on behalf of my 70-year-old father, Mark Kent, who is facing a heartbreaking and unexpected crisis.
My dad has spent the last couple of years dedicating his life to caring for his 93-year-old father and his elderly stepmother, both of whom are now facing medical needs. He does this on his own without any government support.
Recently, a sudden medical emergency involving his loved ones and a serious flood causing electrical, plumbing and interior damage to his home happened. Tragically, this essential repair work is not covered by insurance. Just as he was preparing for a well-deserved retirement—having finally paid off his home—this disaster struck and changed everything.
Now, instead of resting, dad is struggling with the financial and emotional toll of repairing a damaged home.
He needs our help, unfortunately he doesn’t have enough savings.
Funds raised will go directly towards:
Emergency electrical and flood damage repairs
Home safety modifications to protect him, his father and stepmother
Basic living expenses during this difficult transition
Every contribution, no matter the size, will help my father get back on his feet and continue providing a safe and stable environment for himself and his loved ones.
Given the nature of the damage and Mark's situation, the funds goal amount is:
$50,000 CAD
Here’s how the funds will be used:
$40,000 for structural and electrical repairs (wiring, walls, ceiling, flooring)
$3,000 for temporary accommodations, equipment, and safety modifications
$2,000 for medical-related supplies and ongoing care support
$5,000 for emergency living expenses and contingency
Please consider donating and sharing this campaign to support a man who has given so much for those he loves.
Thank you for your kindness and compassion.
