Guidinger Flooding Relocation Fund

I'm setting up this GoFundMe account  for my coworkers, Richard and Vicky Guidinger. This fund is  to help them raise money for expenses releated to their house being swallowed up by the "Thanksgiving Day  Flood" in Lyman, WA.  

Richard and Vicky were notified (while at work)  by their neighbors that the Skagit River had flooded and was quickly washing away their 1000 gallon propane tank  on their property.  Their neighbors also notified them that the river was quickly  headed toward their home. 

They rushed from their work in Burlington, WA  to their home in Lyman and before they arrived the river had already washed away their recently filled 1000 gallon propane tank. The river was knocking down trees on their property and it was quickly washing away their property, and threatening their home.

Co-Workers, Friends and Family rushed to help them evacuate their belongings from their home and now the Guidingers are left homeless with little options to save their home from falling into the river or being condemed for being unsafe to live in.

The Guidingers have poured all their life savings into building their dream home and have few options left to save it. They need help to raise money to either hire  a House mover to move the house from it's current location to another area of their property (If the county will allow it or if it is even safe to do). This will require a large amount of money as well as money to relocate their septic, power, water, etc.  If this is not an option, another option is for them to walk away from their dream  home.

Either way, the Guidingers are unable to move back into the dream home they spent years saving up to build and while they were able to save their personal  belongings from being washed away, they don't have anywhere to go and need the communities help and support to get them through this tough time.  They are staying on a family members floor for the time being. 

Both Richard and Vicky work full time and like most of us don't have hundreds of thousands of dollars sitting around in case of an emergency such as this. 

If you can't help by donating money, please share this GoFundMe and help raise awareness to help them out.
