Uplifting this request in Upshur County, WV.
"We'd love it if at least a couple Upshur County community members with side by sides and trailers would meet us Thursday, August 6, morning at 7:30am to get this stuff hauled. If you are able to help, please comment and we will follow up through messenger. And if you only have availability at a different time on Thursday, we will make it work. If we have to do this in the evening, we will do what we have to do. You should still comment to let us know you have the equipment, are willing to help, and what time works for YOU."

We're in a bind!
Please help.
Do you have a side by side and/or a trailer that you'd be willing to use to help get debris from a neighbor's home in Upshur County out to the side of the road for the National Guard to pick up? This would need to happen on Thursday, August 6. We have a feeling this is the National Guard's last week here, though nothing is yet definite. We hope they stay longer, because there are many people with disabilities and community elders that still need help getting their homes and properties cleaned/cleared out and that means more debris at the edges of properties. Once the National Guard has pulled out, people will have to pay fees at the transfer station to dump.
We already checked:
-National Guard will NOT go on private property
-Office of Emergency Management has NO WAY to help these residents either
This is at a home where 2 people had to be cut out of their roof and evacuated by boat. They both are disabled. We need help hauling debris off their property to the road, because the private bridge directly to their property is not able to be driven on. HOWEVER, the neighbors will allow us to drive on their property to haul the items out to the road. We need side by sides, because they are lighter and the field we will have to drive across is wet.
We'd love it if at least a couple Upshur County community members with side by sides and trailers would meet us Thursday, August 6, morning at 7:30am to get this stuff hauled. If you are able to help, please comment and we will follow up through messenger. And if you only have availability at a different time on Thursday, we will make it work. If we have to do this in the evening, we will do what we have to do. You should still comment to let us know you have the equipment, are willing to help, and what time works for YOU.
Thank you for caring about your neighbors.
