I am BLIND and need HOME REPAIRS.
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Billy and I am a 59 year old BLIND man. I live alone so I have no one to help me pay the bills. I did work for 20 years paying in to Social Security before I lost my eyesight. I have NO savings and I live month to month on a social security disability check that I receive each month. Each month I immediately pay all the bills but there is only a little left over for groceries. My father died in 1986 and my mother helped me get into a house before she died in 1998. The house is now 47 years old and in BAD need of repairs. My biggest concern is the ROOF it is very old and it leaks, it definitely needs to be replaced. I will probably also need inside repairs where the ceiling of the den and kitchen is damaged and flaking off caused by the leaks. The carpet and pad is also ruined and needs to be replaced.
The kitchen counters have began to warp and crumble around the sink area.
The driveway has also crumbled and has potholes everywhere, there are spots where grass grows in the driveway. It is very hard for me to roll the trash cans to the curb and back each week and also hard to get to the mailbox.
The front shrub beds were boxed in with railroad ties which have all now rotted out.
There is a wood deck in the back of the house which has dilapidated and needs to be torn down and hauled away. I AM OVERWHELMED!
I am BLIND and I feel that I have NO other choice but to ask for help. The only way I will be able to make the repairs needed is if someone would PLEASE HELP ME.
If there is ANYTHING you could do it would be appreciated. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
