Our home flooded
Donation protected
On April 30, 2020 our home flooded. Our hot water heater had cracked and flooded our main floor and crawl space. We do have insurance but they do not cover the hot water heater and plumbing, our deductible, or mold and mildew removal. We found out last week that our home is uninhabitable and we have to move out, until the repairs are finished. They are extremely worried about mold and how extensive the water damage is. I am the sole caregiver to my mother, sister, and my boys. My mother has Stage 4 lung and brain cancer, my sister has bone marrow failure, and both of my boys are disabled. So there is no option for us to stay here at all. The risks are too great. We were also notified that all of our food will have to be thrown out because of the water damage and mold. We won’t know how extensive everything is until the take everything apart. We are reaching out to get assistance for us during this time. We’re on a fixed income and cannot afford any of the repairs and deductible. We need all the help we can get. Right now is a very terrifying time for us. Especially to be dealing with my mothers illness, and having to go through this. If you cannot donate please share our story. We have to be out by Thursday. We do not know how long we will be out of our home. My house is handicap accessible because of my mother and youngest. We cannot find any handicap housing to rent, and we can’t be in hotels due to the pandemic. Please help us during this time.
