Help Repair a Military Family's Home

Donation protected
In April 2013 we were preparing our house to put it on the market before I deployed in May, but ran into a major snag. We discovered a foundation issue which will costs upwards of $26,000 to fix. Needless to say we didn't have that kind of money to be able to make those needed repairs so my wife spent countless days and hours trying to work with our mortgage lender Bank of America but didn't have any luck. As I left for Afghanistan, she was left to deal with this mess. In the mean time, our house was vacant. She went to Springfield to check on things only to discover copper thieves had broken in and stripped the copper from the heater, refrigerator, and plumbing. This left water rushing for days which caused $1000's in additional damage to the carpets, floors, and drywall. The kicker to everything is that when the adjuster came out from Shelter Insurance, he told her it wouldn't be covered because the house had been vacant for more than 30 days. Now, after a long deployment, I just want to go home and be with my family but we cannot afford to live together in Georgia where I am stationed because of all the expenses hanging over our head in Missouri. I have a Top Secret Security Clearance for my job as an EOD Technician in the US Army and a negative hit to my credit could jeopardize my job. I don't like to ask for help but if it means I can have my family together, I will do whatever it takes. Even after this deployment, I still believe there are good people in the world willing to step up and give when others cannot do for themselves. I serve a God who is the God of the impossible and I know he has a plan for us. Any amount would help, will you help bring my family together again? I have 2 little boys who are ready to have their daddy home. God Bless.
