Donate $1 to Help The Victims of the Nashville Flood

Posted on 05/04/10 in blog, business about


In case you haven’t heard the area that I live in (Middle Tennessee) was hit by a record and devastating flood. This flood has put our historic downtown, as well as hundreds of homes, underwater. I wanted to donate, but I had already scheduled tons of client work this week, so I’d like to donate some money instead.

I’m going to donate $50 of my money to Hands on Nashville. I’m asking you guys to please help, by donating just $1 by using the PayPal button below. At the end of Friday I’m going to send all of the donations to Hands on Nashville. I’ll also post a receipt of  the donation on here after it happens as well.

Thank you for the help and support of our city!

Money raised  (after PayPal fees): $359.01


Thanks guys for all your help!

  1. Done. I know how it’s like.

    • Thanks Michal. You’ve been in a flood as well?

      • Unfortunately, yes. My house was under water three times. The sad thing is, no matter how high the water goes it’s still all ruined and you have to throw it away.

        And believe me or not, but one time the insurance company didn’t want to pay us the full amount. They said that only half of the furniture is drowned, so they are only going to pay us for this half.

        • OMG that’s terrible! At least you got some money from insurance though. The problem is, is that TN is NOT a flood area, so I’m pretty sure a majority of the residents didn’t have flood insurance :(

          • That’s the thing, here was not a flood area, too. These floods wouldn’t have happened if our town authorities would have renovate the dam on our local river.

            So the first time we didn’t get a penny. The second time we got the half, like I told you. The third time we got the whole amount, thank God.
