Help Cody&Jenna recover from flood
Donation protected
At the end of December, my grandkids finally were able to move into their home that they worked so hard to get into. Most of their belongings were stored in the garage, so that they could unpack one box at a time. Unfortunately, before they were unable to pack, the storm that hit Grays Harbor flooded their house and destroyed most of their belongings in the garage, as well as doing extensive damage to their home. As it sits, they have lost over five thousand dollars in belongings (furniture, clothing, shoes, etc), and the damage to the house is much much more. Drywall in multiple rooms needs to be replaced, as well as flooring. The entire structure needs to be sanitized. At the minimum, all insulation needs to be pulled out from under the house and replaced, but there is also possible structural damage. The entire bathroom will need to be ripped out and replaced. Cody lost work hours/wages due to the flooding. They have already invested money into supplies needed to clean up, including cleaning supplies, a shop vac, and a heater. Unfortunately, many irreplacable, sentimental items were lost including letters, cards, yearbooks, and photos. Altogether the damage and destruction will cost over 25,000 (and adding). They pay 250 dollars a month for insurance (200 for flood and 50 for home), but their insurance is only offering 2000. At this time, it is known for sure that no contents will be covered. Cody and Jenna just moved in within the last 30 days and spent the last of their money on moving expenses. Due to lost wages and immediate costs due to the flooding, they are struggling to pay bills and are unable to buy items that they needed to buy before the flood happened. For example, the water heater at the house is not working correctly, and they no longer have the ability to pay for one or finance one. Please help them recover from this devastating storm that occurred after all of their hardwork and waiting to get into this house.
