I’m Shaun, and I’m starting this fundraiser for myself and my family here in Medina, Ohio. We have been doing our best each month to keep up with our house payments, but we are struggling to get caught up. It has been very hard on all of us, especially because my parents are in their 60s and I am trying to help carry this burden with them. I also try my best to put some of each paycheck toward the house to help however I can. Living with the stress of always feeling behind has been overwhelming, and seeing my mom worry about the house every month has been especially painful. 
<br>
<br>
 The support from this fundraiser would help us catch up on our house payments so we can stop falling behind month after month. My hope is to ease this constant pressure on our family and, if possible, work toward paying off the house so we can have more stability and peace of mind. Anything will help a lot and would mean so much to us. If you’re not able to give, please keep my family in your thoughts and share this fundraiser with others. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for any support you can offer.

 Help Our Family Recover From a Devastating Flood

<div>
 By now, nearly everyone has seen the video of me getting evacuated with my family and baby.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Our home flooded so severely that my baby, my sister-in-law, our dog, and I had to be evacuated from our house by raft. My husband was out of town when everything happened, leaving us to navigate an incredibly frightening situation while trying to get ourselves, our baby, and our dog to safety.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Our home has sustained extensive water damage. Our entire crawl space is filled to the brim with water, and the subflooring, supports/stilts, front room, tool shed, and other areas of the property have been affected. Water is continuing to sit in and around the structure, and every hour that passes creates the potential for even more damage.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 To make an already devastating situation more difficult, we are currently dealing with an insurance issue. We have documentation and receipts showing that flood insurance was paid through our mortgage, but we are currently being told that we do not have flood coverage. We are actively working to resolve this and provide the documentation we have, but unfortunately, the process is taking time that we don’t have.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Right now, our biggest concern is getting professional help to remove the standing water and begin emergency mitigation before the damage becomes even worse. We don’t yet know what the total cost of this disaster will be, but with the extent of the flooding and the damage to our home’s structure and property, it could be substantial.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 We are also facing the immediate costs of temporary living arrangements, replacing necessities, protecting and repairing our home, addressing damage to our belongings, and everything else that comes with recovering from a flood of this magnitude.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 As a family, it is incredibly difficult to ask for help. We are used to taking care of ourselves and never imagined that we would be in a position where we needed to reach out to our community. But right now, we truly need it.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 If you are able to donate, every amount—no matter how small—will help us begin the process of getting our home safe and getting our family back on our feet. Funds will go toward emergency water removal and mitigation, temporary living expenses, necessary repairs, damaged belongings, and other costs associated with recovering from this flood.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 If you aren’t able to donate, sharing this fundraiser means just as much to us. The support, messages, prayers, and shares we’ve already received have meant more than we can put into words.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Thank you for helping our family through one of the hardest moments we’ve ever experienced. We are incredibly grateful for every person who takes the time to read our story, share it, or help us in any way. ❤️
