NATIONAL CITY, Calif. — For the past two months, a hotel room has served as one-year-old Lamar's temporary home after his family's residence was washed away in flooding on January 22. Lamar's mother, Jeneth Gonzalez, has worked hard to provide for her family facing the challenges.
Gonzales said the family of three spends about $50 to $60 on food every day. Now, with the arrival of a $500 Uber Eats voucher on Friday, she is getting some relief.Around 900 flood victims are eligible for this support provided by the county. Eligible recipients, including those in the county's housing voucher program, received notifications via text or email on Friday, containing instructions on redeeming the voucher through the Uber Eats app.“I’m just happy there’s groceries because I would probably use that," said Lisa Sheffield, another flood victim.
The vouchers expire after seven days, with the option to renew as needed. However, the county said they cannot estimate how long this service will last.
