Last summer, a Vermont family faced a nightmare as their home was engulfed by floodwaters during the remnants of Hurricane Beryl. John and Jenny Mackenzie, along with their twin daughters, had to flee their 19th-century house, witnessing their cars being swept away by the raging waters. The aftermath left them without a home, vehicles, or many possessions.
Since the catastrophic storm, the Mackenzies have been navigating the challenges of finding a new place to live in a state with a housing shortage. However, the outpouring of support from their community has been a beacon of hope for the family. Donations totaling over $160,000 have poured in, enabling them to purchase used vehicles and secure a new house just in time for Thanksgiving.
