Emergency Home Renovation Assitance
Donation protected
Due to current living conditions, I need serious help getting my house done. We have a house that requires FULL renovation. We bought it when we both had income and it was to be an easy fix (in terms of finances). However, we both lost our jobs due to medical issues for my roommate and economy for me. I've been working when and where I can, but nothing steady. The place we're trying to renovate is completely stripped (no electrical apart from what I managed to do, no plumbing, no cabinets, broken drywall, no HVAC, no toilet, needs walk-in bath and handicap ramp, garage door). Again, when we purchased the home, it was well within our budget to get this all done. We managed to get it a new roof and the majority of appliances as well as most of the electrical done before loss of finances.
We're currently in a location with no space, black mold, house literally crumbling around us, bats and other creatures coming into our living room from the attic, expensive bills, and no actual kitchen (I have a PIC induction burner and a dorm fridge in a closet). Our current residence is extremely unhealthy and is not only exacerbating current health issues (roommate has severe MS and I have suppressed immune system) with the mold and dust, but also creating new issues such as consistent lethargy, breathing issues, et. al.
The amount for which I'm asking will cover everything we need to finish the house, from drywall to electrical to plumbing to paint and cabinetry. And remember, the place was COMPLETELY stripped when we got it so that's what we're looking at. They literally took everything. The place now (at least) has an alarm system so any progress moving forward is monitored and secure. If we can do this, it will massively decrease our monthly bills so we can work toward a better future. I can't offer much in return, but if you donate and you're ever in the Flint, MI area, I'd be extremely excited to at least make you a good dinner with (hopefully) some home-brewed beer.
Any assistance, be it $5 or $1000 will be extremely helpful. And if you have any questions, please don't hesitate.
