Spiders and things caught in the Web of Life

My mother is in the last stages of Altzimers. We desperately need help so we can get her home. This is my sister, She set up the Gofund.me account.

This is where the bridge was and the colverts that were washed away in the second flood. They had to be removed.

I am from a very small town in Southeast Kentucky. On July 28th our county and surrounding counties were hit by a devastating flood.

My county completely lost over 2500 homes. We are still struggling to get homes repaired, torn down and getting help from Fema. We, me and my boyfriend, and 5 of our neighbors have been volunteering every giving away everything from food, cleaning supplies, toothpaste and brushes every thing that is needed to just to survive at a Distribution center that started out under canopy tents on my property . We are now in a building beside my house.

I can't tell you in words exactly how this feels. My mother's house had 9 feet of water in the basement, which is a very large room, the water came up the stairs to the Den which is another large room, to the fireplace mantle which is over 5 feet high, then went another 4ft up a staircase to the kitchen..

Our bridge which was 70ft long made of steel washed completely away. The car was carried away along with everything outside.

After pumping the water out there was 2 feet of mud. All of the furniture, dad's tools and all mom's Christmas stuff, clothes , and a lifetime of our family history. All the furniture, pictures just completely everything is in the front and back yard, after 5 cleaning crews came. Mold was a huge problem. The garage which was big held which held lawnmowers freezers, wood working tools, garden equipment and so much more was washed out.

HOPEFULLY soon we can manage to piece together our lives and move forward.
