Joan's Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund
Donation protected
Hi all. My name is Joan Wehring. I live in Oak Forest of Houston, TX 77018. I live off of West T.C. Jester on the street directly across from the bayou. I am raising funds to replace some belongings and repair my house from the Hurricane Harvey flood.
I need to replace flooring throughout my house and put in a drain system. I will also need to replace sheetrock and repaint. I want to replace to nice area rugs I had and some other personal belongings I lost. I never thought I would have to setup a fundraiser but this was the first time in 14 years I didn't pay my flood insurance due to some financial hardships in the last 2 years.
Saturday night I was thinking it is raining hard and in the morning I can assess how it looks and decide if I need to put things up inside the home and if I needed to leave the house. Well Sunday morning I woke up to water in my home. I didn't think it would rain that hard in one night to flood my home. Well, needless to say I had water throughout my house and me and my 2 dogs & 2 cats laid on top of the bed waiting for the water to go down. M
y other dog was atop a sofa in the garage riding it out.
My hardwood floors are completely ruined, the sheet rock will need to be cut out & replaced and I lost some furniture and two very nice persian rugs. I also lost some personal items.
I was in shock and didn't take pictures of the inside waters but got this one later after the water had gone down. I am standing on the front porch looking to my front yard.
Please know that I truly appreciate any contribution. Anything in excess of the repair/replacement costs I plan to donate to an animal rescue group.
Thank you for your time and contribution.
