SAN DIEGO — "It's hard to see everything gone," said Mary "Angie" Landavazo.
On Tuesday, Landavazo revisited her home since it was ravaged by floodwaters, right after she had finished remodeling.
"It's incredible how your life can change in just seconds," said Landavazo.
You may recognize Landavazo from when she confronted Mayor Todd Gloria on CBS 8.
“Why do we have to be the ones to suffer? We the people, lives, flesh and blood, we should be important," Landavazo shouted to Mayor Gloria a few weeks ago.
She described how she, her family and her dog had to escape from the roof onto kayaks during the Jan. 22 floods.
On Tuesday, she was still begging the Mayor for more help. She and her family have been staying a hotel for the past two weeks, but she said their time is running out. She said they have to be out of the hotel in one day with no plans where to go next.
"You know, I see it as this: the Mayor, if he was in our shoes, and it was his family, what would you do?" she says.
The City told CBS 8:
All flood victims in who are in hotels (whether via YMCA vouchers or San Diego Housing Commission placement) are being connected with temporary housing through the County of San Diego.
The County housing assistance team has been in all three hotels where people with YMCA-provided vouchers are staying to get those people placed in housing. These people are being prioritized over the people who were placed into hotels by the SDHC.
The SDHC is extending the hotel stays of the people they placed until they can be placed by the County into housing. As of yesterday, SDHC had 490 adults, 238 children and 187 pets in local hotels.
However, Landavazo said she has not been offered any extended stay as of now by anyone.
It could be several months before she gets back into her beloved home. For right now, she’ll continue to pick up the pieces.
"The City, the County, Mayor, you need to prioritize us flood victims. We need to be your priority," said Landavazo.
