GoFundMe, community fundraisers helping Bucks County flood victims

If the past year has shown anything, it s that good people come together in the toughest of times. Last week’s 100-year flood in Bensalem, Bristol Township and Bristol Borough is no exception. From dining fundraiser to GoFundMe campaigns, the community is rallying around victims of the July 12 floods, many of whom still are navigating complicated insurance claims or who lacked flood insurance coverage at all. “I’m so thankful for his help because I wouldn’t have been able to afford putting me and my boys anywhere,” said Connie Leon. Leon and her two sons fell victim to the flash flooding in Lafayette Condominiums in Bensalem, and lost everything. The family was in a Best Western for three days after the July 12 storms, with help from a $500 gift card from the American Red Cross. Currently, they’re staying at the Sheraton on Roosevelt Boulevard in Philadelphia, thanks to Leon’s ex-brother-in-law who used his points to put a roof over their heads.
