Oxford, CT, along with other surrounding towns, was hit with what is being called a 1000-year flood on August 18th. Several roads, bridges, businesses, and homes were damaged or destroyed by the rushing waters. Kelly Donohue’s home was impacted as it was completely surrounded by flood waters. Although, thankfully, her home is structurally sound, her basement experienced significant flooding. She lost her hot water heater, furnace, washer and dryer, as well as boxes full of memories and photos of the lives of her and her children. From her yard, she lost her fencing, shed and all of the tools it contained. Kelly just finished recovering from the tornado/macroburst storm in 2018 that knocked down every tree in her backyard, damaged her roof, destroyed her fence, and collapsed her shed with all of her tools in it. 

Many friends and family members have been asking how they can assist during this time. Kelly is not normally someone to ask for financial help, but this is an extreme instance where it is feeling like a necessity. Any contribution is greatly appreciated.
