Davenport Apartment Disaster

My name is Elizabeth Pruitt and I was effected by the apartment collapse disaster is Davenport, IA. This was my first apartment after graduating from the University of Missouri. I moved in on Saturday, the day before it happened. Physically, I’m fine. I was out getting groceries when it happened. However, my cat was trapped inside. As of May 28 at 7:40 p.m., demolition is set to begin tomorrow morning and I will loose everything I own, including my cat. All of my very personal items - things I brought back from my study abroad trip to Europe in January, posters I bought at the Van Gogh Experience in Memphis, my camera with pictures of my friends before they graduated, and my hard drive with all of my work and photos on it and so much more - is gone starting tomorrow. I moved in from Southwest Missouri and couldn’t get renters insurance until tomorrow with it being a holiday. I have lost everything and currently don’t have anywhere to go. I’m in a hotel and I’m safe but now have to find housing and try to replace everything I’ve lost. Thank you for your help in this, even though no one has to help.

UPDATE: On May 30, 2023, the Humane Society of Scott County rescued my cat Lulu and I have her back now.
