PEORIA, Ill. — The Harshbarger family has lived on Kellar Parkway in Peoria for nearly 18 years. But, after torrential rains flooded their home last Friday, they are basically starting over.
Paul and Michelle Harshbarger waded through waist high water trying to save anything they could.
Julie Katolick, Michelle’s sister, said the way the house is set up was part of the problem.
“It’s a split level. I mean, it (the water) was coming through the vents. It was coming through the windows.”
Katolick said the family isn’t very optimistic that insurance will cover much of the damage. So, she has set up a go fund me account to help the family. The initial goal was $8,000, which they reached, so the amount was increased to $15,000.
