Housing Displacement due to Hurricane Milton

Donation protected

Hey friends and family! First and foremost we thank God everyone in our family is physically ok. We live in Winter Haven, Florida and during hurricane Milton a large tree fell into our home. Our ceiling has collapsed in our kitchen/dining room and one bedroom with water damage reaching into another bedroom and bathroom. This is making our home unlivable currently and for a family of 9 finding temp housing has been difficult. Normally we wouldn't reach out for help financially but at this time FEMA has been denied for us because we have insurance but that help is on hold until 10/21 when our adjuster can come to us. I have been unable to find temporary housing aside from a shelter in Winter Haven and the cheapest AirBNB I could find is 40 mins away but will cost about $3,500 for a month(everything else was much more a month to stay on top of still having to pay our mortgage.) We have a 4k hurricane deductible I have put back but we've had to shell out in other places like a uhaul and storage unit for our belongings until the house is fixed and rebuying all of our food due to the power outage. Any funds raised will go towards paying for the Airbnb until insurance kicks in. We appreciate any help you may be able to provide to us and we are very thankful to have an amazing community to rally around us during this time.
