Support David Clark's Family in Water Crisis
Donation protected
This is the story of the David Clark family. 60 days ago, their well and streams were polluted with animal and human feces without their knowledge. The entire family was at an Urgent Care a few days later with skin rashes and lesions. The water test results came back with such a high level of toxicity that it could have resulted in death. (See info in photo below.) All appliances in the home that utilized the water were infected with animal and human feces and may no longer be used. The water failed the Federal Government water safety stats. Since then, the well is condemned, and they have been without running water.
A new well cannot be dug due to the way their property is situated and this was the second well already dug for their property over the years. They have lost all the equity in their home, which they still must pay a mortgage on. They are determined to pay the mortgage but need to find another home. The person who contaminated the well is not accepting responsibility and we want to help this family get back to normal. This Go-Fund-Me will help them purchase another house while David continues to work a full time and part-time job to pay the existing mortgage on their home. Please help us help this hard-working family that are struggling now just to daily have enough fresh water to cook, drink and give to their animals, which are many. They are showering at relatives' homes and doing all laundry at a laundromat. And with three boys, this is considerable. They either purchase bottled water or use empty bottles to run to relatives for refilling water. They are using bottled water for everything, even to brushing their teeth.
David even created a way to collect rainwater before it hits the ground. (See photos below.)
Please share this Go-Fund-Me everywhere so this local family, can get into a home.
