Donna get back into her home

Dear Friends, I find this very difficult and very embarrassing to write. But honestly, I feel like I have no other choice. It's a matter of protecting my house from any further damage so I will eventually have a home to return to. On May 27th My Condo was flooded . We had a rainstorm and the storm drain on the condo's property was plugged due to it not being serviced. The fire dept was called and they could not unplug it. I had 3 feet of standing water at the front door. The pressure of the water was so strong that it blew out the bottom panel of my storm door and pushed through the weather stripping on the sides and bottom of the doors. It also came in thru both bedroom windows, flooding my entire home with dirt, leaves, and garbage, up to 5 and 6 inches in places. The silt was so slippery that I slipped and fell in it, injuring my back. Long story short. My Insurance refuses to pay for anything as I don't have flood Insurance and I was told by the HOA not to call any board member, everything had to be in an email, which they haven't answered the simple yes and no questions sent to them. HOA refuses to pay. Here it is 9 days after the fact and they still have not answered nor have they made an Insurance claim with their insurance. I called their insurance today. To SAVE my home from MOLD or any FURTHER DAMAGE, I had to hire a mitigation company Called Service Master, I also had to hire movers to empty my house. As well as the attorney who needs a $5,000 retainer not to mention $500hr. I did everything I could to keep costs down. The movers deducted $240 from their invoice as well as offered to store my belongings for free. They also provided the moving boxes for free. I had two other people help me pack things for free and Five guys from work carried all the boxes and smaller stuff out to the sidewalk to save money. I have spent 10 hrs a day packing, cleaning, taking things to the other house, phone calls, etc, on my feet so much that the Lymphedema from my past cancer treatments is back in full force after being under control for a good year or more. My back kept me down for several days. I did go to urgent care and the Drs. Two days before the flood My little brother passed away suddenly and I could not attend the funeral because the Dr advised me not to fly due to lymphedema and back injury. I'm at the end of my rope. All I can do is Pray at this Point and ask you for help. My House is uninhabitable, My two dogs and I are sleeping at a friend's house and it's estimated that I won't be able to return home for months. Please note that Service Master has more mitigation work to do. All my lower cabinets need to be torn out as well as my appliances. The bill/estimate below is Just to get me out of any further damage to the home. ( Vacuum up water and dirt, tear out soggy walls and insulation, sanitize, pull out vanities and toilets, etc. None of this is to repair the home and make it livable. It's only clean up and sanitation. I have over 2000 FaceBook friends, and if everyone donated Just $10.00 each, We would reach this goal. Thank you for your Help! I am also giving the contact info for the below attorney and contractors if you would rather pay them directly. Current costs occurred. Help You Move [phone redacted]: $600.00 Youngs Service Master [phone redacted]: 9,000 to $12,000 ( I do not have the invoice yet, this was a verbal estimate) Attorney Retainer & Fees,
