Urgent Help for Maria's Family Displaced by Flood

Donation protected
My name is Maria. We have lived in our apartment for 10 years it is our home. In Clearwater florida.Where so many memories were made with my kids and now grandbabies. Milton has come along and taken it from us. My daughter lives right under us and around 2 that morning her apartment flooded. We stayed up all night as we watched the amount of stairs left not touched by water. We just kept seeing them disappear at one point it stopped. We kept hearing people screaming out for help as they tried to get out of the rushing water. Lucky there were no casualties. We watched as all our neighbors got picked up in boats. We thought ok well at least we can stay and be ok. No we were told we had a couple of minutes and we can grab quick essentials. We walked out with what we were wearing and meds and a thing or two more. In the middle of having a panic attack I tried to make sure everyone had what they might need immediately. We were evacuated just like all the rest. We were in zone D we were supposed to be ok. In a matter of hours we both lost our homes. We have no where else to go. Tomorrow was supposed to be my granddaughters birthday party but the home is gone everything is gone. We are trying to get a hotel room so we can all rest our heads. Waiting for answers and what we can do. Please if you are able to help me and my family I ask you to please help. We will have to start from scratch and help my daughter as well. Anything else questions or anything you want to know please ask.
