Updated: 8:37 PM EST Feb 28, 2021 WLKY Digital Team Crews spent the day cleaning up the headquarters for Gilda s Club Kentuckiana.Their new facility on Grinstead Drive flooded for the third time this year.According to Bruce Paul, one of the board of directors for Gilda s Club, the heavy rain caused sewage to back up into the basement of their building.The organization helps people dealing with cancer, and many of their services are operated out of the basement. Unfortunately, the money we always get and rely on is supposed to go to supporting families, not for repairing floorboards in the basement. So hopefully, people will understand that some of our resources in 2021 won t be going to what we hoped they would be going for, said Paul.The basement has an indoor playground, game room, yoga room, and meeting rooms.It s also used to store donated art that is rotated throughout the building.So far, the estimate for clean-up is around $75,000 to $100,000.Communit
