Help us Relocate

Hi there, my name is Kat and my family and I have lived in East Palestine for years. As most of you have seen on the news, our town was nearly wiped off the map due to a toxic train derailment. Now we face a huge uncertainty. We evacuated first to the Red Cross shelter and then later to a hotel. My husband and I have already been to the emergency room due to after effects of this exposure. Now that the mandatory evacuation has lifted my husband has been tirelessly working to get our home safe for me and the kids to come back. Unfortunately we’ve had to dispose of our couch, beds, rugs etc due to the damage. On top of purchasing air purifiers and cleaning products. Sadly my business in East Palestine is still closed due to insurance issues from this and my husband works from home so he’s unable to work still. Anything would be a blessing. Thanks for your time
