Just over a month after Superstorm Sandy destroyed their Toms River home, Jay and Kim Purcell were optimistic and resolute about rebuilding.

Over the past three months Kim and Jay have done what they were supposed to do. They dealt in good faith with their insurance companies. The spent their own money hiring engineers and adjusters.
The Purcell’s optimism has been replaced with despair. They’re dealing with red tape and low ball offers from their insurance companies. Kim looks like she’s aged 10 years in the last three months.
This video was posted on YouTube on February 17th, 2013. The Purcell’s have been out of their home for 112 days.

I pray and hope that they get help. I also hope that they have been in touch with the State’s Insurance & Banking Commission with regards to the way they have been treated by their insurance company.
Art, maybe you could contact them about that? I know that representatives of the Commission are in Neptune’s municipal building all day today.
