Hi, this is Madi & Jacob Roman.

We need help. We've never been ones to ask for help, especially in the form of money but our American Dream is falling to pieces.

In the midst of giving birth to our second child (literally earlier this month), we came home to find that our neighbor's tree roots had intercepted and destroyed our main pipe. We literally have been pumping our sewage into soil under our house. If that wasn't enough, with all the historic storms and flooding happening in Omaha we had a basement window shatter and flood our newly finished basement.

Our insurance will not cover any damages.

We are devastated and looking at almost $40,000 worth in damages. Even after looking into a home equity loan... we simply can't afford the payments.

We are looking at possibly losing our home. We know that with the economy, money is tight for everyone. But if you can spare even a little bit.... we would greatly appreciate it.

We love and adore all of you. Thank you for your time.

The Roman Family
