Help Repair My Parents' Home
Donation protected
Hello all! I know we've all been through so much the past few days because of Harvey and it warms my heart to see Houstonians' efforts in helping each other out.
I live in Houston. My family lives in Shepherd, Texas, a town an hour north from Houston. The foundation of my parents trailer home was affected during the floodings and the house is tilting down on one side. Sadly, our family doesn't qualify for FEMA assistance because of our legal status and my family doesn't have the money to fix this. I've talked to a specialist and we need to raise $1,500 by wednesday the latest. My family also doesn't have the money to buy a new trailer home, so the fastest and cheapest relief to my parents so they don't become homeless is to raise this money.
My dad has worked in construction and has helped build our beautiful city, keep in mind that many undocumented workers will be the ones rebuilding our city. My dad has found a temporary solution for the trailer home but we need to level the trailer home asap.
THANK Y'ALL SO MUCH!!
UPDATE: I will be moving the money to my bank account and then delivering it to my parents on Tuesday this week (or as soon as it's available) so we can contact the leveling guy. THANK Y'ALL SO MUCH.
With love and gratitude,
Karen
