There has been a couple of million raised by some of the country singers that also have lost everything. This thing is going to go into the billions. The people of Nashville were not if a "flood zone" so they didnt have flood insurance. And in case anyone does not know, even if you have the max on homeowners insurance, if you dont also have flood insurance, you are not covered in the event of a flood.
Taylor Swift donated $500,000.00. This lady is AWSOME. However, these people are going to need help for months, maybe years to come. These are Americans, right here on our own soil. Everyone is always so quick to jump on the bandwagon to help other countries......its time to help our own.
We had a WONDERFUL turn out today. I have a uhaul that is almost full, and also some cash. To everyone who came out and donated, whether it was time, money, items, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! To those that couldnt make it, but said prayers for those in need, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I cannot come close to nameing all who helped, it was sooooo many. But I would like to thank Oakley Equipment for the great deal on the uhaul, Southern Pride Pest Control for the free snow cones, ice cream, slushies, and popcorn, Grand Rental Station for donating the use of generator to run the equipment, Lisa McCrory for all of her promoting on facebook and Shoals Sale Barn, Rachael Haygood for her tireless efforts to round up people and items.......the list goes on.
EVERYONE was wonderful, and I love and appreciate each and every one who came out today.
Thank You
