🚨 URGENT CALL TO ACTION – HAGERMAN, NM 🚨
76-YEAR-OLD WIDOW NEEDS OUR COMMUNITY'S HELP!
Today, Roswell Community Disaster Relief (RCDR) received a call from a 911 dispatcher regarding a request for emergency assistance for a woman who experienced catastrophic flooding inside her home.
The resident is a 76-year-old widow living alone in Hagerman, NM, who also faces multiple underlying health challenges.
A major water line break inside her home caused extensive flooding, resulting in damage comparable to what we might see following a severe storm.
Unfortunately, she did not initially reach out for assistance, and the water damage continued to worsen until concerned neighbors checked on her and discovered the situation.
THE DAMAGE IS EXTENSIVE!
Carpeting, sheetrock, flooring, and numerous personal belongings have been damaged. Much of the affected material will need to be removed and hauled away before the home can begin the drying and recovery process.
❤️ HERE IS HOW YOU CAN HELP!
🏨 EMERGENCY HOTEL ASSISTANCE
We are seeking financial assistance to provide this elderly resident with a hotel room for approximately 3–4 days while volunteers begin working on her home.
🛠️ VOLUNTEERS NEEDED IN HAGERMAN
We are looking for individuals, churches, organizations, or volunteer groups willing to help with:
- Removing damaged carpeting and flooring.
- Removing water-damaged sheetrock where necessary.
- Moving furniture and personal belongings.
- Removing and hauling away damaged materials.

💰 FINANCIAL DONATIONS NEEDED
