Residents living near San Francisquito Creek in East Palo Alto lost many of their belongings in recent storms, including their cars. Two groups have stepped up to help these families recover.
On New Year's Eve, the creek poured into the Woodland Park Apartments. The high floodwaters left residents with damage that could cost thousands.
Francisco Navarro has called these apartments home for more than 10 years. He said the waters swept inside his storage unit. Navarro became emotional at one point saying his family lost clothes, shoes, and equipment. The cost to replace these items he says will be over $8,000. "I have to move everything out, clean up and put the good things inside again," Navarro told KPIX."The rest we have to throw it away."The floodwaters made its way inside of the parking spaces, in the complex. Residents tried to save the vehicles, but for many it was too late, like John Ahomana's.
"This is one of my main transports to work," Ahomana said."Now, you know I am just thinking how I am going to get to work. I just had a newborn too, so this is kind of hard."Woodland Park Apartments in East Palo Alto, which suffered damage from a flood on December 31, 2022.
