Emerald & Ivy Flood Relief
Donation protected
Hi friends! Emerald & Ivy Floral’s production warehouse suffered a LOT of damage from the historic flash flood that occurred on Monday 1/22/2024.
We were in the midst of the flash flood that hit our street and warehouse hard. Chollas creek is literally right next to our warehouse.
The flash flood came upon us so swiftly by the time we could evacuate the building the debris filled black waters were 5 FEET high on us. We were able to get to safety on higher ground, but I managed to fall and hurt my left leg. No cuts, but definitely bruised and banged up!
We lost vehicles, inventory, hard goods, computers, merchandise, furniture, equipment just to name a few things and now sadly our cooler is splitting apart.
I have never been one to ask for help but now, I suppose, is the time. I don’t have flood insurance unfortunately. As most companies don’t… we are not an exception here. We just need a little helping hand! There’s been so much damage in the community it’s truly hard to ask for help!
But, if you can lend a hand, it will help me get back to full throttle to create many, many more amazing and beautiful weddings and events!
We also had a wedding on Monday, and I had to call the coordinator, (soaked to the bone when I got home) in the early afternoon, to tell her that there was a high probability that we wouldn’t make it! It was the worst call I have ever professionally made. But we went back down hours later to see if we could get into warehouse and WE did! And were able to create and deliver our clients wedding! So grateful!!!
Much love to you and yours!
