I really and truly tried so hard to find resources and calculate working through this Helene/ Milton for my home and business but the bills are heavily looming and my home / backyard is exceptionally destroyed. My neighbors can't operate their in home daycare while my property trees and fences are torn to pieces and as much as I work ( 6 days a week right now 12 hrs a day) I will not feasibly be able to work enough to keep my own home & mortgage/ neighbors/ home/ salon afloat. My salon didn't sustain any damages but the operating costs while also trying to fix My home to a safe and livable place is just literally insurmountable. I had an authority come out and and quote me $3600 to remove the one tree down that had torn apart my house and fencing. This doesn't include a falling palm and the rest of my expenses including food and shelter as a single mom. I really drove myself crazy over not asking for help because I've " done it all myself " for the 8 years my son has been alive and I've made a whole career and reinvented myself 100 times at least. But I'm at a point where the dollars are stacking up SO fast and SO high that if I don't ask for help- I won't be able to make it. I know this area is so hard hit that my story is one of many but if anyone can help in anyway I'll be indebted and grateful.
