Well, well, well, look who we have here – the Combs family, trying to survive without a dime in their pockets. Luckily for them, they managed to crash at their relative’s place while their house gets fixed up. Blessings come in all shapes and sizes, you know.

But, hold on to your hats, folks – on one fine Friday evening in March, nearly eight months after the flood, Mrs. Combs was feeling the heat! Why, you ask? Well, because she was going through a bunch of receipts, trying to figure out how much they’ve spent so far. Talk about overwhelmed!

Unfortunately, despite not living in their damaged house, the family is still paying for water and electrical services. And, to add to their misery, the downstairs ceiling remains unfinished, and they need a new heating system. Can’t catch a break, can they?

Mrs. Combs did a quick calculation, and it turns out they’ve already spent thousands of dollars trying to get back on track. And, wait for it, when you add their past flooding expenses, the total amount almost touches $10,000. That’s one expensive waterpark!

To make matters worse, Mrs. Combs has a deadline looming over her head. She wants to move back into the house by the end of April, just in time for her birthday. And, if that’s not enough, they’ll have to spend even more money on replacing all the missing household items. It’s the cherry on top, folks.

And, last but not least, they’ve lost some priceless items from Mrs. Combs’s late mother, who passed away after contracting Covid-19 in the same month as the 2021 flood. Some things, money can’t buy.
