Hello, as most of you have probably heard by now, my beloved city is flooding. As of Tuesday morning, there are still major sections of Nashville underwater, including Riverfront Park downtown, the Titan’s stadium, the Opryland Hotel and Mall, and most of Bellevue. There are hundreds of people around the city and surrounding counties that are homeless now, including 3 of my coworkers. If you have not had a chance to see some of the photos of this tragedy, you can visit the Facebook page below, or look up the local news channels (2, 4, or 5) in Nashville.

I would like to take a moment and introduce you to one of my co-workers who lost her home on Sunday to the flood waters. Her name is Darla Sansom, and she along with her husband Johnny, and 18 year old daughter Abby have found themselves in a devastating situation with the total loss of their home and all their personal belongings. (please see the photos below) The first flood picture is of their home on Saturday evening. By Sunday, the house was completely underwater, including the roof. They fortunately have flood insurance, but it only covers the structure, not the contents of their home. They are currently living in a rental home of one of their church friends, but have nothing to fill the home.
Please understand that Abby is graduating from High School in a few weeks and is planning to go to college, but now has nothing. Daniel and I want to help in any way we can and we wanted to share the opportunity to help this family that is so close to our hearts.
