The past several days have been heartbreaking for so many of our neighbors across Hamilton, Marion and Madison counties. Homes have flooded, families have been displaced, and communities are facing a cleanup and recovery that won’t happen overnight.
As a Realtor, I spend a lot of time talking about what makes a house a home. But moments like this are a reminder that home is also the community that surrounds us — the people who show up with a meal, a donation, a cleanup crew or simply a helping hand.
If you need help:
Indiana 211 is coordinating information about shelters, emergency housing, food, cleanup assistance and other flood-related resources. Dial 211 or visit Indiana 211.
