Help! My family will be homeless!

Donation protected

Water has damaged our home between the floor of the upstairs bathroom and the kitchen ceiling and now it is rotting.

We cannot afford to fix the damage, let alone to hire someone to do it.
We can barely manage to feed ourselves the least expensive of foods.

 I just need help purchasing tools and materials to fix our home.

Since the damage seems severe, and the scent of mold is so strong in the bathroom, I need to fix this immediately, before someone falls through the floor.

I need tools to even assess the full extent of the damage, and I will need tools and materials for repairs.

Things like, a pry bar, angle grinder, blades, pipe, plywood, flooring, mold killer, drywall, and so forth.

This entire repair will cost around $3,000 – $5,000 in total. IF I can fix it now, it may be more if the damage is not stopped very soon. I’m worried that my family is going to end up homeless.

In the last 3 months, my entire household, has been crushed by medical emergencies, one thing breaking after another, the death of our beloved pet, My car was hit and the driver fled leaving me with no mirror and a caved in door. We were never reimbursed our $500 deductible.

These things are top of the loans that had to be taken out for medical procedures, car payments, house payments, utility bills etc. etc. etc.

We have nothing in savings, our credit card is maxed, we simply cannot afford another loan, and none of our friends or family can spare anything.

When I set my mop bucket on the floor next to the shower and the bucket pushed the floor down several inches. Prodding with a broom handle caused the black, ruined wood under the linoleum to crumble with little resistance.
The rot and mold seems to originate somewhere under our shower and toilet, and the kitchen ceiling is stained a sickly brown hue in many areas.


Any donation will help, no matter how small.


Please help my family.

They deserve a floor and a roof.
