Today on The Big Favour, Lynn-Rae Smith wrote to us. She was one of many people who also lost everything due to the recent flooding in the province.
Her home was badly damaged by the KZN floods.
The neighbours' retaining bank failed and a mud slide came crashing through the kitchen window.
This meant they had to flee their home that night.
