Johnson City, NY Tragic Flood (PRAYERS AND HELP NEEDED)

Please Keep my inlaws in prayer!

They were in the Johnson City (Broome County) NY Floods!

Carol (sis-in-law), Catherine (Mama-in-law) & 11 year old Niece are now homeless staying with friends and family! They have lost everything they own! Our niece not only lost everything but her animals are missing-

we do not know if they have perished in flood or escaped!

If you are interested in helping in any way please let me know!

Most of all I am asking for prayer for them and all the people in their area! If you would like to see more about the horrible floods here are some different sites with footage on floods!

Papa Bear spending quality time with the baby bear

I walk into the kitchen and I found my 2 favorite people 

spending special time together working with wood crafts

   

People seem to think it takes a ton of money and time to make a special memory with their children!

Yet 2 hours together at the kitchen table doing crafts will be a special ever lasting memory!

We have went over and over what to do with my dd,  she knows if we say go now to go to hall wayand get down. we have an animal cage for our cat so if hurricane comes he is safe and with us.

remember if evacuating and your path is crossed by a downed power line - call and report it and avoid itat all costs! 

remember not to leave your pets behind make sure if you have pets that you find an animal friendly shelter

have leashes, carriers and such ready!

MOST OF ALL PRAY!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND BE SAFE!!
