#flood damage

This is Vash, perhaps worried that there is not MORE snacks.

Now that I have your attention

My friends got flooded out of their home (thanks Helene!) Insurance will cover much of the damage, but I've easily spent $300 since Saturday, and they've put out maybe $500 so far.

The kitchen is unusable so all food must be eaten out, and even McDonalds is $12+ in our area, per person. A sushi lunch special is $15, so. The appliances are unusable, so they've just packet wet clothes into bags. We'll see if it can be salvaged later.

The cpap machines are dead. I'm still trying to convince one that sewer + river water in plastics like hoses CANNOT be sterilized.

Plus, they are 70+ years old. They *cannot* do all this, and I have EDS. Everyone we know is either also flooded, helping flooded friends, or also medically unstable. It's costing even more to pay people to lift boxes and such.

I've been working for 5 days so far. Today was short, only 4 hours not including logistics like driving and securing storage.

If you can help with $5, please $@ me with note TKO (helps me separate btw other job payments.)

the entire day felt like somewhere between a fever dream and a horror movie
