As you all know, South Carolina was hit hard with the recent flooding,
and some of the worst was right here in the area I live. While I was
fortunate that our house is on a hill and we didn't suffer any damage at
all, many were not that lucky and lost nearly everything.

One person that was hit hard is a fellow I work with. He lives with his
elderly, disabled mother in her home, taking care of her while working a
full-time production job. He's a really good guy. The water was three
feet deep in the home. They lost all their furniture except for the
dining room table and china cabinet. Most of the sheetrock and
cabinetry had to be ripped out of the home. Also the home had recently
been paid off, so the mother had cancelled their flood insurance. On
top of that, a couple of days later the mother had a stroke and has just
been released from ICU to a regular room at the hospital. Bad stuff
happens to good people.

One of the ladies I work with started a GoFundMe page to help them out.
I'm posting this in hopes that maybe some of you rec.boats regulars
might be able to make a contribution to them. Anything would be appreciated.

Can you send me an address by email. Will send a check.

One thing I dislike about gofundme is they charge 5%. Seems a little
excessive for a website clearing house.

Don't forget there is a fee for using a credit card. In the end, GoFundMe may get about 2%. Seems reasonable.
