When it Rains, It Pours: Flooded and Homeless
Donation protected
Hi, I am at my lowest and most humble point and don’t know where else to turn. I am a single mom of 3 girls and this last week we had our basement apartment flood and it is still currently flooding as the snow is melting and the rainstorms/snowstorms continue to hit us hard this next week. I’m temporarily /living away from my girls and doggies and this is probably the hardest part until I can secure a new place for my family
Every room but the kitchen flooded and now we’ve been asked to move out immediately from the landlord since the repairs are beyond cosmetic and they need to completely gut the basement to fix the foundation problems etc and this will take months to repair as well as it now being hazardous to our health from the mold that will develop with the moisture.
I work full time at the Post Office and am starting a second job next week after spring break on my nights off at In-N-Out with my 16 year old daughter. I just got slammed last month fixing my transmission on my car and now this. :(
I am just asking for anything to help us to move our salvageable things to storage and help with the loss of our belongings since our insurance is not going to cover our things since it is a flood from ground water and not from a burst pipe. I need help saving money to replace our things as well as saving for a deposit for a new place to stay. I feel so embarrassed to ask for help but I do not know where else to turn . Thank you for anything you’re able to give and I promise I will pay it forward one day when I’m able to get back on my feet and recover.
