Residents of Eastern Kentucky flood impacted counties     

From Rescue to Respite

This image shows an older couple standing proudly in front of their home, smiling and arm-in-arm. They’re posed on the front porch, framed by white railings and a clean, well-maintained house exterior. Their expressions radiate warmth, stability, and a sense of belonging—capturing a moment of pride and comfort in their place of residence.

Clinging to each other, George and Sherry tried to stay upright in the torrent, their feet scraping for anything solid beneath the rising current.
