Hundreds Without Water; Grandmother Steps Up
California's historic drought has finally delivered its ultimate devastation: hundreds of homes in one community bone dry, devoid of tap water. The Central Valley farming community of East Porterville is a place where 400 homes are without running water. No showers. No flushing toilets. No way to wash dishes. That's because private wells have run dry. What began as a mission of charity by Donna Johnson, a retiree, is now a well-publicized relief effort, inspiring businesses and others to donate bottled water. Johnson regularly visits Gallegos' door to ensure that she, her 5- and 10-year-old girls and husband have enough water for the week, Gallegos said. Johnson does the same for the elderly, the sick and anyone who needs it. http://bit.ly/1sz2eWu http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
