Warehouse for flood victims overwhelmed with community need

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — It’s time for Juan Meza to get to work, rebuilding the bare bones of his home hit by flooding on Jan. 22.

“It’s a lot of work,” Meza said. “Hanging up the drywall, having to get the stuff from Home Depot.”

Although the reconstruction is far from finished, Meza, his son, and his brother are staying here. A neighbor gave them some mattresses to sleep on but they don’t have the money for furniture. Meza hopes to receive donations from this warehouse filled with home supplies for flood victims.

“Just so we can have some kind of furniture in the house and have it feel like home,” Meza said.

The warehouse is run and funded by a group of nonprofits. It officially opened Monday, but Meza and other victims ABC 10News spoke to have struggled to get a hold of them.
