Go Fund Me page launched to help Neosho flood victims

A Go Fund Me page has been launched to help Neosho resident Sarah Moore whose home fell victim to the flooding earlier this week.

According to a news release from Go Fund Me, the family of five had its home badly damaged by flooding, with no insurance to cover repairs, and reached out to every major relief agency only to receive fans and dehumidifiers from the Red Cross. "The GoFundMe will go directly toward replacing flooring and drywall, and helping the family recover from the disaster left behind."

The following message was posted on the page by Jackie Sharp, who started the page:

My friends are victims of the recent flooding in Neosho, and unfortunately, they do not have insurance to help them recover. The flood destroyed much of their home, leaving them with damaged flooring and drywall. 

Despite reaching out to every known agency—United Way, Red Cross, Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity, Emergency Management, and the City of Neosho—the only assistance received was from the Red Cross, who generously provided a way to get fans and dehumidifiers. Friends and church family have been coming together to help where they can as well. 

This is a hard-working family raising three children. Accepting help isn't easy for them, as they are usually the ones helping others. Jairus, the father, spent many years serving his community in law enforcement. Even while trying to figure out how to recover themselves, they are asking other flood victims if there is anything they can do for them. Their hearts are pure gold, and their resilience is inspiring.

Funds raised will go directly toward replacing flooring and drywall. Every donation, no matter the size, will bring hope and relief to this wonderful family. Please join me in showing them some love and support as they rebuild their lives. Your generosity will make a real difference.

The goal is $3,000. At this writing, $760 has been raised.
