Help Us Rebuild Our House and Car

Donation protected
      I am raising money to help my family rebuild our house that we bought 3 years ago and help my 16 year old daughter, Lily,  buy a new used car that was totaled. We are currently homeless and living in a hotel until the house is fixed enough to be safe for our return. We are a family of 5 (myself, my husband Chris, and three daughters Lily 16, Aubree 11, and Mia 8) living in two separate rooms. We are lucky enough to have family that is helping us with a loaner truck for Lily for the time being, caring for our puppy Oakley until we can bring him to the hotel, and taking care of our 2 cats Anastasia and Angel. My husband is working two jobs and I am working 2 as well to try and earn as much money as possible to pay our bills before I go back to teaching this Fall.
      A tree fell on Lily's car and our house on June 26, 2019 during a storm that blew in and out very quickly with high winds. We need to replace her car so that she can get to and from work and school because she is not getting any money for it from the insurance company because we only had liability on it due to the age of the vehicle. Lily worked very hard to buy the car herself with money that she saved up babysitting, working at McDonald's, and gifts at the holidays. Lily spent $3,500 on her car and we would like to find another used car that will be safe and reliable for her. We are thankful that her car was there because if it wasn't, the tree would have probably gone through the entire roof and would have probably killed or seriously hurt Lily.
      Our entire house is being packed up except for one bedroom, one bathroom, and the basement. When they came to look at the house, the tree next to the one that fell needed to be cut down because it was comprimised and the insurance company may not pay for that tree because it is not the one that fell. We have many large furniture items and electronics that will be a total loss such as a couch, love seat, two end tables, 2 lamps, a Wii, PS2, and 2 TVs. We will know more about the items that are a total loss after PuroClean comes in next week to pack the rooms. We have a $1,000 deductible for insurance that we would like help paying in addition to having gas money to drive to and from the house as needed. We also need money to help with laundry costs to pay our parents for the heat, water, and electricty that we are using while using their washers and dryers.
