Repairs to our flooded and condemed 1997trailer
About a month ago, we were away at the store and in-law\'s house.
When we got home, a pipe had burst and flooded the tlr. and ruined all our work and stuff. In addition, the cabinets (a used donation)floor covering, sheet rock, baseboard, insulation etc. were ruined. A young man is helping us, for free labor, to re-fix everything. He found mold in the walls and insulation and it had to be replaced.
The homeowner policy paid the trailer off and we used the property money to buy materials. We bought it back real cheap, but it is paid for. All we have to pay is lot rent.
When we found we had to replace all the sheet rock and cabinets and such, we fell short of money. Please help. Since we bought it from the Ins. co., it is considered uninhabitable. We are living in it because we have no where to go. No family has any room for us. My mom lives @120 miles from here in a 2 BR tlr with my brother. They live with the AMISH and brother said they would donate cabinet labor and installation, but we have to pay for hardware and material.
We are just trying to get it acceptable to the county so we can get a certificate of occupancy, and officially move back in.
The young man estimates that we need $500-1,000 more to complete the necessary repairs, including the electrical problems. If you could send us a dollar or two (we won\'t refuse more though) it would be appreciated.
My wife and I are SSI Disabled and on Oxygen and have several medicated problems. I am an ex-auxiliary police officer. (don\'t hold that against me, I only gave out 3 tickets in 5 years) I also served on the volunteer fire dept for years, as well as guided an Explorer Post. I was on the board of a national organization which donated to local and national charities.
I am not blowing my horn, I just want you to know what I am. I believe in helping people and karma. Please, if you and I met on a street, and after you learned of my problems, would you offer to buy me a drink or hamburger. Since we will most likely never meet, could you send me that much to help us. If not that much, something. I know karma and the golden rule is the way to live.
I will be glad to verify these facts if you need to.
I hate that I have to ask for the goodness of strangers, but it has come to that. Everyone in my family is either as poor as us or have family to take care of. My sis and her hubby have their 2 daughters and their husband kids (5 children) living with them. Sis and husb. are disabled too, and it\'s hard to get a job where they live.
I know this is long, so thank you for hanging in there. If you can\'t afford to donate, say a prayer for us. We need it.
Thank you for considering our plight!
