Flood Recovery

In 2003 my husband was run over by a pickup truck.  He was in ICU for weeks, could die at any moment.  It was the worst time of my life, only made better by my Bible, and my faith in God. 

One day I looked around the waiting room and realized I was the only one with a Bible.  The next day I snuck some Bibles in, and left.  When I came back, everyone was dug into their Bibles like ticks.  I began handing them out to everyone I met. 

My husband asks "Why don't they get their own"?  I don't know.   If they will read it, if it comes from me, then I'll buy it and give it to them! 

I did that for years and still have a good stash.  Ron requires a lot more care now so I haven't really been able to get out.  

On Dec 21 I woke up to a flooded house from a burst pipe.  The damage is considerable (the Bibles I had were fine).  Most of my stuff has been taken off to storage, including my bed.  I have a small cot I am using that is OK for now.  I have some clothes, medication, and my personal Bible which nearly got soaked.  The cats are all well but I had to board Biscuit as he has a medical condition and can't get overly stressed.  He was really freaking out and that isn't good.  I would rather pay the $17 a day and could use help with that.  

I can't drive so rides are an issue.  

My aunt has been a real hero with helping with laundry as my washer and dryer were affected.  

The kitchen is OK so we are fine for eating.  

I don't have a bathroom sink but do have a shower and toilet so we are good.  Everything ruined (carpet, drywall) has been hauled away.  

All the dry-out equipment is gone and the house is "bone dry" per the guys.  

I am looking forward but have a feeling a lot of people are going to be making a LOT of money off of us.  I have posted some videos of the damage.  

I am paying off a root canal right now and Ron will also need dental work shortly so help with that is appreciated.
