Meth house Makeover

My parents recently were approved to buy a house. There are not a lot of available homes for sale in Canton, so when they found the one that they really liked, they put in an offer on it. Their bid was accepted and they got the house, the closing date was June 13, 2016. Two days after that my Aunt and Mom were over there moving things in and cleaning, when a neighbor knocked on the door. She said she just needed to tell them something about the house. The neighbor told them that she was pretty sure meth was being made in the house and she had told the previous owner about her concern and then the house went up for sale shortly after that.  My Dad decided the house needed to be tested for meth before moving anything else in. They researched and  found a company that would help them test the house, everything that was tested came back with high levels of meth readings on it. As a result of the test findings, they decided it would be best to rent pods and put all of their belongings in there. They did not want their valuables in the house to become contaminated, not to mention that it is unsafe to have them and my younger brothers there.  They have had a contractor out to estimate the cost to fix everything to make the house livable. The quote they received covers everything required to make the home safe to live in. This includes: taking everything down to the studs, treating it with a chemical cleaning agent, replacing all of the drywall then sealing and painting the whole house. Also they are having to replace the floors, cabinets, lights, appliances, HVAC and duct work. Between having to pay for the testing, storage pods, temporary housing and the mortgage on a house that is not safe to live in, they are not able to come up with the funds to have the house fixed. I would like to ask if you are able can you please make a donation to help them with that cost so they can actually live in the house they are paying a mortgage on. If at this time you are unable to donate financially, we are also accepting donations of labor and building supplies, to help off set some of the building costs.
