It's been a long road of rebuilding for Reid and Sabrina Caudill since September’s flood. Four feet of flood waters invaded their Shell Rock home. The couple feels like they're left to pick up the pieces alone.

Reid explains. “Government funds are really hard to come by this time. FEMA came in and told us that there weren't enough homes damaged that were uninsured to cause the need for a federal government action.”

It was their goal to spend Christmas in their rebuilt home. They were able to insulate it, but the flooring and drywall still needs to be replaced. Reid struggles to fight back tears thinking about where they will be tomorrow.

He says, "We don't know. Family (Christmas Eve). Probably family (Christmas Day). Friends?"

The couple also needs to raise their house six feet to prevent future flooding. The total cost for everything could be more than 60 thousand dollars. That makes them wonder if they will ever spend another Christmas there again.

"Been in contact with my mortgage holder, trying to get some options, says Reid.” “(Have to) Get smart about it, make some common sense decisions. But right now the way it stands we will have to walk away from our investment in the house"

That's fifteen years of investments. Sabrina Caudill says 2016 is a year she would like to forget.

She explains, "(I’m) Just hoping things will start to change around in the first of the year. We've gone through a lot of sad things in the last 2-3 years.”

Sabrina and Reid are staying with a friend until they figure out their living situation.
