Well Kelly, I thought this is crazy that you are getting no where as far as help especially from your own town. So I sat down and started making phone calls in your area. I was hoping that phone calls could result in answers since none of the many emails I have sent everywhere not just in your area but that of surrounding areas have resulted in even one reply back.
Well, your Chamber of Commerce someone named Krista was very nice, seemed interested and willing to take down your website and pass the info to her director. This gave me hope....well that was about it. Your mayor's office didn't even want to take the time to write down the website address clearly letting me know that she had no time for it.
The city lawyer was nicer to talk to but he had totally no clue as to what you can do. Apparently the message I got is that you are out of luck if you think your city will help in any way. I pushed the fact that yes, many people will be in your situation in a few days. (electric cut) I get that. But what about the 12,000 fish that rely on the air supply to live? Isn't that a concern to know that all these beautiful creatures will slowly die in 5 days if there is no help?
Well what would be done if people knew a home had a ton of dogs that was about to suffocate and die slowly? Certainly someone would step in and offer help? Maybe a Church fundraiser? A bar holding a special dance?? I kinda got the message today that would be different. grrrrrr
I'm so sorry but I think I have exhausted all the avenues that I could think of to help. Guess it's in the hands of those that read the forums and news articles and of course God as to how this plays out.
Take Care,
Patti
