Homestead Repair

Donation protected
*The image displayed shows prices from a Google Search made on 09/10/2022 for a Propane Furnace for our home. Labor is not included in the prices shown. Labor costs will add up to $3,000 more.

Due to health conditions (Heart Attack, Diabetes, & more) I can no longer do the repairs to our home on my own & are seeking financial help to pay for these repairs listed below as disability ($1,000.00 a month) just does not pay enough when a mortgage is involved.

Plumbing *(Has been repaired but we had to use money that was to go for the roof - $1,000)*
We currently have not had water in our home for over two weeks as the pipes has blown & we also had sewage backup. The plumber said it will take four hours & up to two eight our shifts to repair the plumbing at $125.00 an hour.

Septic Tank *(Insurance will not cover cost)*
We have also discovered that our septic tank has developed a hole in it from age & needs to be replaced. I have no idea what this will cost at this time but I know, it will not be cheap by no means.

Furnace *(Insurance will not cover cost)*
We recently (Late Winter) had our furnace worked on & was told that they “Jimmy Rigged” it to work but we need to replace it as it is a 1984 Heil Furnace & there are no parts available for it anymore.

Roof Replacement *(Insurance is now covering most of this cost – see above)*
The shingles on our roof are brittle & some have broken & blown off. I’m assuming this will cost around $4,000.00 to get done providing there are no underlying problems.

Our insurance company is aware of these issues & is in process of covering the cost of other issues that was caused by water damage due to the plumbing but what is listed above will not be covered.

Please if you can afford to, help with our situation & sincerely, thank you in advance.
