Hello, my name is Danielle, I'm a black queer person and I just want the universe to throw me a bone just for once.

So let's get yall up to speed. Two days before Thanksgiving in 2022, my Father lost his battle with acute myeloid Leukemia. With his death, my Father left his home to my siblings and myself. After we had our talks, my brother and sister decided they did not want to own the home and I gladly took to taking over the house. It was truly a blessing because I love our childhood home and always wanted a home similar to it one day.

After along process last year and the help of friends, family and strangers, I was able to raise funds to figure out why the mortgage was out of sorts and get the payments caught up. Since then, it has been a thorough process of note taking of things that needed to fixed up and/or repaired around the house. Flash to January of this year, 2024, I lost my big brother suddenly and his death put a damper on making sure things were ok around the home as I wanted to make sure his family was ok and help where I could. A month after he passed, the main service line pipe under my garage broke due to old age and not being properly supported since whenever it was installed. I woke up to all 3 of my bathtubs filled with waste water, water flooding into my workshop garage and seeping into the main biggest bathroom through the floorboards.

There was a lot of damages and thank goodness I have homeowners insurance. My adjuster has been a godsend making sure what was and wasn't covered and a good chunk was actually covered. So why am I making this go fund me? This is to help cover the expenses that were sadly not covered under my insurance. The initial diagnostics and excavation were not covered by my policy and if it wasn't for the help of my mother, I probably would not have any of this fixed. So between the two of us, we signed heavy paperwork payment plans to get the new service line pipe put in and an exterior service pipe placed in.

Roto Rooter did an amazing job with everything to get it replaced along with testing for mold and doing proper clean up an sanitation of the rooms affected. So this is where I need help. I need help for the two payments plans my mother and I each took out for the costs related to putting in the new plumbing system. And to help withe the deposit for fixing my garage floor. My insurance will cover up to half the cost of the replacement to the garage which is great, so I just need a deposit to put down.

I really appreciate to those of you who have made it this far. All I hope is for you all to share this post and that means the world to me. It's just a bonus if you are able to help. I know times are super hard on everyone right now and money is tight. So thank you if you are able to help with green rectangles. Many have asked me when this first happened how they can help. And now that the dust has settled and insurance has done it's thing. I finally have total to give you all. The amount is going to most importantly help pay my mom for her generosity for taking out a payment plan for a home that doesn't belong to her, especially since she is retired and I want to make sure she is ok. Second will go to what payment plan I had to take out when the work was even more complicated than what the company thought.
