Help Us Build a Warm Shelter for Safety
Donation protected
(Shortened version...lol) My son moved in with me 6 months ago. I didn't have a place to call "my home" then. A dear friend of mine let us pitch a tent in his yard. I finally found a place and was supposed to move in the week after Helene hit. The complex has no water or power and has halted move-ins until they do (6-8 weeks minimum). The nights are getting down into the 40's now. I have applied for assistance from FEMA but have not heard back as of yet. I hear the nearest place for a hotel is in Charlotte, over an hour away. Since my son moved in with me, I've had to go to part-time, but now, after Helene, we haven't been able to work for a couple of weeks (no water), and there's no estimation on when water will be restored there, either. We just need a warm, safe place to stay temporarily.
With my son being special needs, a shelter would not be a good place for us. If we had the money to build a little building for us to sleep in and stay warm, my prayers would be answered. Any money donated would go to this building. Will you please help us?
