Can You Help?

[ 0 ] 03/24/2009 | Lissa

In case you live in a cave and haven’t heard, North Dakota is facing some serious weather and flooding problems this week. I received an email from my cousin Brien yesterday asking for help sandbagging, as his own very neighborhood is seriously threatened. I told him if the roads allowed (central ND is having a serious blizzard!) I would drive over and help. Unfortunately we are being pounded with bad weather and it is not possible to travel. A new update from him this morning says that they need more help, they don’t think they are going to get enough done before the flood comes.

So I am sending out the help call… PLEASE if you live in the Fargo vicinity, volunteer to help with the sandbagging efforts. I know how hard it is to have all of your personal belongings lost.

If you are in the area and can help and you would specifically like to help my cousin and his family, email me and I will get you his contact info!! Please pass this on, I will forever be grateful!!

xoxo
