In need of emergency funding for home hardship due to Hurricane Helene
My small family and I live in a small town off the coast of South Carolina. We are some of the fortunate that are blessed to have survived, we were hit pretty severely. I had to have a tree cut down on yesterday, it took about six men and three hours to bring it down. $1100 to cut & leave the debris. I was then told that there are (6) others that need to be removed. I currently can’t afford it.
We live in a single family brick house 3BR/2BR house on 1.12acre of land. We filed with Fema and were Paid $300 for expenses. Our house was built in 1957. Its very mean To our family. It was my grandfather’s house. The house that build me! We have five broken windows from flying debris, most of our major appliances we lost during the power surges. Our hot water heater element blew and busted a pipe underneath the bathtub. That caused our house to flood. It was capped, currently unable to use and is in need of replacement piping and prefabricated conversation.
We were out of electric for three days. We lost our living room furniture, three bed sets, clothing, books, shoes, private art portfolio, picture albums, personal items and a lot of stuff that honestly can’t be replaced right now. We’ve tried buying what we can each week to go towards each project to get back into our home. Thankfully we were able to get a local hotel room . We have pets at home that require love and care. It’s a constant race driving back-n-forth. Plus, we have a leaky faucet. The shower knobs have to be replaced as well. I bought a new sink for the master bathroom. Unfortunately, I haven’t hired a plumber for the job yet and this five gallon bucket fills up every three hours.
Everything cost so much to get fixed. I lost my job before the hurricane. It wasn’t much, but it helped pay our electric bill and my car payment each month. I had to let my car go back after the hurricane, so here we are asking for help, We’re a family of four. My husband and I of twenty six years and two beautiful daughters. We are thankful for any support you can provide, or prayer. Thank you in advance ☺️
