8/4/14 - A fundraising effort has been set up to help uninsured residents of a Highland mobile home park that suffered damage in the recent storm. High winds, heavy rain, and golf ball-sized hail struck the area on July 27th, seriously damaging structures and vehicles. One of the hardest-hit areas is Highland Greens Estates, a mobile home park located west of Milford Road. The Milford Times reports 80% of the homes in the neighborhood were damaged in the storm, resulting in damaged siding, broken windows, and shattered skylights. Of those who were damaged, four out of five were uninsured, and many need help paying for repairs. The park has helped replace some lost windows and supplies have been provided by nonprofits like the Salvation Army and American Red Cross. Additionally, a fund has been set up to help raise money for repair bills and insurance deductibles. For more information or to make a donation, call Community Sharing at (248) 889-0347. All contributions are tax-deductible. (TD)
