Help me save my house from collapse

Donation protected
Hello, everyone, you may know me as the lady who is trying, with help, to save Arbor Park in downtown Grand Forks.  Last Sunday (the 4th of Sept.) I had a catastrophe at home.  It was late at night, and I heard a noise.  Everything seemed to be ok until I went into the basement, and saw one wall of my 111-year old house had collapsed.  I had just had my house shingled and painted and it looked good and ready for another 100 years, and then this!  My insurance denied my claim.  A lawyer says I don't have much of a chance of winning by legal action.  I need to get the house temporarily braced up, and I have a contractor ready.  There aren't many who do this.  He can fix the one wall permanently for $30000 or do all the walls for $60000.  I would love it if I could do it all and feel safe and secure.  Eve if he fixes one wall I don't know how long it would be until other walls give way.  I need the money asap so he can start doing what is necessary to save the whole house from falling down.  I've lived in this house for 42 years, and raised my children here, and I love my old house.  It means so much to me, and kept me safe even after the flood of '97.  I would be so grateful for any help because I can't afford even one wall fixed.  I am still working to save Arbor Park, and we have anothr presentation to the review committee tomorrow.  I am committed to Grand Forks.  I need the money right away so I can tell the contractor and get this done before winter.  Thank you!
