The basement of a family home in Lower Carinthia was flooded for days, the supplies are broken. Another family’s house was undermined, the drainage is precious. Your “Krone” donations give the families a glimmer of hope!
A state of emergency was in effect for three days in St. Paul im Lavanttal. “The constant sirens also robbed us of our last sleep,” says Nadja L. The single mother of four and grandmother of one grandchild was hit hard by the storm in early August.
“I used to live in a mountain village, so I am used to storing things, such as groceries, diapers or dog food. In addition, I buy all items in larger quantities when they are on sale – also because of the price increase,” explains Nadja.
Basement flooded, supplies broken
In August, the entire basement of the house where the family moved into just a year ago was flooded: “We all evacuated in case of emergency, I took the children to friends for safety!” However, she could no longer store the things. supplies stored in the rescue cellar. “What was not destroyed by the water fell victim to the extreme humidity. The smell in the cellar is great; hopefully I will get a drying device soon,” says the woman from Lavanttal.
Financially things look bad: “With four children and inflation, there is not much money left to put it aside,” says the desperate mother. Therefore, with the help of your donations – dear readers – the “Krone” now replaces the lost stocks of the family.
The disposal costs 35,000 euros
“We only slept alternately for days to check the pumps,” says the R. family from Mölbling. Two springs undermined the garden and family home during the August storm, and the basement also flooded. “Now it’s not just mold eating into the walls, four meters had to be dug around the house to install drainage to drain the water.”
The cost is 35,000 euros – the “Krone” helps financially!
