WV Flood Relief

[sall]

I am not sure if a majority of you have seen or heard of the massive flooding that took place in West Virginia on June 23rd. This event has caused massive devastation across the state. Fifty-one counties out fifty-five declared in a state of emergency. Luckily my family lives in the northwest part of the state and were unaffected by this physically. Living in such proximity to the Ohio River this could have easily been me. I would ask if you have even $1 to spare for a family in need it would mean the world to them. West Virginians are a very proud people and despite some of the negative connotations you may have or think stereotypically of WV, we are people too and we need your help. Remember as JFK said,"The sun doesn't always shine in West Virginia, but the people do."

This is the West Virginia Flood Relief GoFundMe page which has raised a little over $130k in a few hours and was started by Brad Paisley(native WVian and country music artist).

Urging you guys to help out. Many of these people in need would still give their shirt off their back to help someone else. That is a lot to say as many of them were left with only just that; the clothes they had on at the time.

Condolences and wishes for a speedy recovery to the residents of West Virginia effected by this devastating flood.

Sall, meant to drop you a PM last week-end, good to hear you/yours are safe, and really sorry I flaked...

People will step up, I saw it here in SC last fall during our "1000 year" flood. Sad that it takes such a thing for us to help each other out...

No problem! Thanks for thinking of us, Tigger! Yes, sadly sometimes it takes a disaster to bring people together. WV will recover though!
