A Home for Ray after a fire

HELP RAY MOVE TO A NEW HOME AFTER HE LOST EVERYTHING IN A FIRE
I am Muhammed Al-Ahari. I am a Chicago charter school teacher and live in Chicago. I am fund raising for post surgery expenses for my father Ray Rudder. He is in the picture above.The most important of these is preparing a place for him to live after he gets out of rehabilitation following fire injuries. We need to raise money to renovate his future home, buy furniture, clothes, appliances, and other related needs.
Ray is 75, has COPD, and no savings. He is retired and lives near Rock Hill, SC. His only income is $700 a month in Social Security, so he has no ability to move into an apartment. He lost everything he owns in a house fire. Ray was at home and had a gas leak. When he lit a lighter, his home went up in flames. During the fire he was burned over 30% of his body.
Ray needs the funds within the next two to three months. His sister has a hunting cabin she gave to him, but it needs a bathroom and kitchen to be livable. It will cost around $4000 to make his new place habitable by adding a bathroom and kitchen. He also needs appliances, clothes, furniture, in addition to having his cabin renovated so he will have a place to live. He will have skin graft surgery and rehab that will last three to four months and will be homeless afterwards with help. We need funds before Ray finishes rehab.
