Help Out Stranded Mariner Tenants

On January 10, 2019 the entire first floor of our apartment building flooded due to a Town of Comox water main breaking. 17 apartments on the first floor were wrecked. Since it was neither the landlord nor the tenants fault, our contracts were considered frustrated and our leases ended immediately.  Only 1 of the 17 apartments had tenant insurance and the vast majority of residents are low income/seniors. 

We're asking for $8500 because that will give $500 for every apartment. The money will be shared equally amongst us. It won't even begin to cover all of our expenses but it will help soften the blow.
