Emergency Help for Family of 9!

Donation protected
Our family was on the search for a new home and thought that we found the perfect home. We put in an offer which was accepted and went through all the steps of getting a home inspection, appraisal, etc and closed on the home on March 24, 2017. We moved in and 2 days later ended up in emergency lodging. We hooked up our washer and dryer, started getting the kids washed up and washing clothes because they had school the next day. We noticed the water started coming up through a drain in the basement bathroom. Sewage water flooded the bathroom and hallway in the basement causing over $2000 in water damage. We hired a few different experts to come out to try and restore water flow through the pipes, only to find out the we have a collapsed lateral. We got a couple of estimates for the lateral repair which was about $8,800. We tried to get a loan for the repairs, but we're unable to get approved. We now have an attorney and have filed a lawsuit, but this process will take a long time and is not guaranteed we will even recuperate any of the cost that this has put on us for repairs, lodging, and any attorney fees that we will have. It has been 2 months and our family is now split up between relatives because funds for emergency lodging has run out. We are asking for any help we can get so our family can return to our home and be together! Also, our story did air on channel 6 news.
