Elder Corine Paulk (featured in our Sounds for the Worries broadcast) lives in Houma and needs some help.
Her home is not livable.
Her homeowners insurance deductible is $3180 - she doesn’t have that.
CashApp: $MommyMedic88
She is a member of the United Houma Nation in her 70s, and the first employee of the Indian Education program in Terrebonne parish. We broadcasted her life story earlier this week twitch.tv/videos/1133014….
She and her granddaughter Courtney have started the claim with her insurance and are waiting. They have filed for FEMA, but have been denied due to having homeowners insurance (they are appealing).
Thinking about donating things rather than funds?
Organizers have ALOT going on and cant run your logistics. Be on the following before reaching out 🧵
1 How definite are the donation plans - is it a possibility, a passing idea you had, something you have and are ready to give, or something you are working on acquiring. People need to know how much certainty your are speaking with
2 Will you deliver directly, ship, or would they need to pick up?
heres the needs we know so far- 1) people w diabetes and ither conditions need medical supplies 2) access to clean water and working sewage is a problem 3) everyone needs baisic toiletries/food 4) those still evacuated are experiencing costly price hikes on hotels
5) those returned home are cleaning yards and connecting to find shelter 6) blue tarps are needed to prevent further water damage on roofs 7) it would be great if people could get access to wash clothes (@tide ?👀)
8) officials are warning that it will be weeks before communites are back on the power grid
