Please help my parents rebuild from earthquake!!!!

Donation protected
Greetings, I'm pleading for help for my parents!  Please help me help them!  My parents and Grandma's homes have been devastated by the Earthquakes in Puerto Rico that occurred on Jan 7th.  The house is currently condemned.  My parents and my Grandmother have been displaced until we rebuild or find a proper home for them to live in.   They are currently living with me and part time with other family members until the situation improves. My parents do not qualify for housing programs and they cannot afford to rebuild.  We are awaiting whatever assistance FEMA can provide and their max will not cover even half of the damages to the house.  It will probably just cover the demolition.  There was also damage to furniture in multiple rooms of the house.  This has been devastating to our family because this is the home we grew up in.  There is a sentimental piece that can never be replaced.  It is true that a house is only material but it is my parents hard work and the product of many years of sweat and tears.  Their dreams and goals were to build their home and raise their children in Puerto Rico.  Now they don't have a place to live.  My parents live a pretty modest life and it's safe to say their entire life savings is in this house.  My mother is battling advanced Cancer since 2018 and underwent major surgery late last year and was forced to stop working.  As anyone can imagine, this was a devastating blow to our family.  My dad is elderly and my grandma is in her 90's so they do not work either.  My two brothers and I have been helping out with basic needs for as long as I can remember.  Our childhood home becoming uninhabitable was something we never planned for and unfortunately something we were not ready for.    Because there is so much structural damage, the house will need to be rebuilt.  I humbly ask of you any donation you may afford to give, so I can help my parents rebuild their lives.  Please forward this to anyone you think can also help out.  I know lots of you have your own struggles and do not ask for your help without acknowledging that.  Anything you can do is greatly appreciated and may it be returned to you in Health and Blessings!  Thanks for taking the time to read this and thanks to all of you who have expressed concern and offered to help in any way.  For this we are blessed!
