Several years ago, I was contacted by a client to help with a homeless family situation while they were living in their vehicle. They needed a place for their dogs to stay until their situation improved. This family, an elderly mother and her adult son with a disability, have minimal income and cannot access government housing. They do own some land in Southern Pulaski County, and with the help of a local church, a camper was purchased and moved to their property. I also raised funds for a septic system to be installed for use by the camper. For several years, this arrangement worked, and they were able to pay their utilities and have their dogs returned to them. Their water hook up, however, has now completely failed. The spigot they used to run a hose from has rusted down and no longer works, so there is no running water at all to the camper. The son must walk to an unlivable house on the property and fill jugs from another spigot, carrying them back to the camper. Both the mother and son are in poor health, and these circumstances are taking a toll on them physically and mentally. Over the years, storms—including winds from last year’s tornado—have caused significant damage to their camper. Trees have fallen on the roof, creating a large hole. Although they covered it as best they could, water leaked in and down into the walls, causing the floors to rot. Over the winter, rats found their way inside under the tarp and through the hole. The electrical system is mostly not working, with only two outlets functioning. The stove caught fire at the propane hookup, so it can’t be used anymore, and the rats chewed the cord to the refrigerator. The damage is extensive. We tried to find help to repair the roof before the damage occurred, but those who said they would help, didn’t follow through. Someone did help them put a better tarp over the roof, but now they can’t open the windows or use the AC or heat because it’s all covered. The electrical damage is a big concern, and at this point, they need a different camper and a water line run underground to the camper. The funds from this fundraiser will be used to purchase a livable camper for the family and hire someone to run a water line underground from a working hydrant to the camper, ensuring they have safe shelter and running water year-round. I am truly grateful for the generosity and caring of those who support people in difficult circumstances. This family is very appreciative of any help they receive. No amount is too small—if many give a little, the burden is light and the impact is strong.
