#53. Make a Care Package for Someone - Completed

Last Thursday our province experienced what is being described as the worst flood in 100 years. 100,000 in Calgary alone were evacuted from their homes, downtown was completely flooded and B's work shop in High River is currently under water.

As soon as we were told by the Mayor that the core of the city was shutdown and off limits, we went to Walmart and got a few cases of water and food as many of his co-workers were from High River and now displaced.


First we dropped off water to my grandparents because the last thing I wanted them doing was trying to drive anywhere. Then we went out and found where B's friends were staying (which was interesting as noon of them had cell reception). We found them safe and dropped off some food and water.

We even tried to give the police patrol's who were making sure no one entered High River some water but the Red Cross has taken good care of them.

It's been a scary week but the worst is over.
Except for the people that have to go home to nothing because their homes have been destroyed.
My heart is hurting for them.
