J'aime Killbery, whose home was devastated by a once-in-a-lifetime rainstorm in June, continues to rebuild while waiting for financial aid from the provincial government. Three months after the flood, which caused extensive damage, Killbery receives $20,000 from her insurance but still faces significant expenses. The family is cutting corners to manage costs until they hear from the province about potential disaster assistance.
Killbery, who lives in Balmoral, has already sought payment from both her private insurance and the province’s disaster financial assistance program, but she has yet to receive any additional funds. She expressed frustration over the lack of communication from the government, emphasizing the emotional and financial strain the situation has placed on her family. The province has received over 2,500 applications for disaster aid, with a deadline of Oct. 8.
