Help: Our Dad & EMS gain access to his home
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Lori & like many others, I am starting a GoFundMe to help our dad after Helene devastated our area.
The funds will be utilized to repair his driveway & allow him to gain access to his home without having to climb a steep bank. Currently, there is no access for an emergency vehicle nor for the electric company to repair the lines & pole damaged at his address.
He is a 75-year-old veteran that has heart, lung, & back issues which is being taxed with his limited access. We are working with On SITE Disaster team & any resources possible to get this fixed before more slides happen. There have been numerous people assess the driveway & it will require a concrete culvert to repair it. The culvert needs to be 180' in length and 5' in diameter. We received a quote out of Charlotte, NC for $51,000 for the culvert without the cost of equipment.
Our family is so thankful for all the volunteers & support that has come into our communities. Our dad's driveway is not an easy fix, nor a cheap repair. Thus, if anyone has the ability to donate funds, it would be utilized to help our dad remain safe. Thank you and please pray for all of our communities.
