Juneau Flood Crisis relief for Tesla,Nikki & Carly
Donation protected
Hello friends and families, can you find it in your heart to help out my fellow Juneauites, great friends, and members of Women of Juneau Group-Tesla, Nikki and Carly?
Today, these ladies, my friends, witnessed firsthand the effects of a Jökulhlaup, an Icelandic term for a glacial outburst flood. Lake levels rose quickly as Suicide Basin, a glacial basin out of sight yet adjacent to and above the face of Mendenhall Glacier, began to empty. Essentially, the plug on a glacial bathtub was released.
We have another flood due to the Suicide Basin Overflow this year, and areas that weren't affected last year—Tesla, Nikki, and Carly's — got flooded this year. Unfortunately, as this is considered a natural disaster, most household insurance will not cover the repair costs. Many families in the Juneau area are currently facing similar challenges.
I created Women of Juneau (WOJ) Group for the women of Juneau to have a community support. The flood has severely damaged a few member's and my close friends' houses. The GoFundMe money donated will help them with house repairs and purchasing appliances ruined by the flood.Carly’s car is totaled by the flood.
Any amount donated and kind thoughts and prayers sent their way is very much appreciated.
The donations will be initially transferred to my account then will be equally divided among Tesla, Nikki, and Carly via their own bank accounts.
