"The owners of CBD-centric coffee shop and café Anzie Blue have “adopted” a family in Waverly who lost their home and car in the devastating flood. Marcie Van Mol and her team at Anzie Blue are raising funds to help Mariah King and her daughter Ember to pay rent, get a car, and replace their misplaced belongings. King described the tragic event: “When I had Ember she was 1 pound 7 ounces. She fought for over 295 days in the NICU and now I am clenching onto her for dear life as I place her on my mattress. I watched helplessly as my car was swept away. After a few minutes, I heard voices and knew we would be rescued. However, we lost everything. We did not have renters insurance. I would love to find a place to rent, purchase a car, and start to rebuild my life with my daughter.” The family is accepting donations through such avenues as GoFundMe, Amazon wishlist, and Venmo (@mariah-king-87)." - Delia Jo Ramsey
