Dear Kind Hearted Donors,
I am writing to humbly request financial assistance for critical repairs to my home in rural Missouri. Although I have worked hard to improve my home, I am facing significant challenges due to unforeseen circumstances which include a fallen tree bough that crashed through my roof in January of 2021. I was able to patch the roof but I have had to set aside other essential repairs and live as best as I can in these conditions.
Living in Missouri, where temperatures can fluctuate drastically throughout the year, a functional heating and cooling system is essential for comfort and well-being. The heating and cooling system in my home stopped working in 2017 which has forced me to leave my home and stay with family and friends every winter since then. I return to my home in the spring with the warmer weather but also have to endure long, hot summers with only two functioning ceiling fans. It’s been difficult to maintain a comfortable temperature inside my home at any time of the year.
I am also in need of ceiling repair, a hot water heater, insulated windows, flooring, safe entrance to my back door and foundation repairs. The lack of insulated windows exacerbates energy inefficiency and it is my hope to replace some of the windows with energy-efficient alternatives. I currently have a gaping hole in my living room ceiling and the original flooring has suffered extensive water damage from water entering the roof in the 2021 incident. It is my hope that replacing Sheetrock in the ceiling and covering the original flooring with vinyl flooring would enhance the safety and appearance of the living space.
I removed an old deck with rotted wood in the rear of my home and discovered cracks, missing bricks and structural issues in the foundation. I also have a storm door entryway with framing that has crumbled. Addressing these foundation issues is paramount to prevent further deterioration and costly repairs down the line and I can create a much-needed balance to the climate of my home for my family.
I have two grandchildren and needless to say, I’m afraid to have my family come and visit because of potential safety hazards. Unfortunately, the financial burden of these critical repairs exceeds my current means, leaving me unable to address these pressing issues on my own. I’m 54 years old and as I get older, I realize that I may never be able to achieve these things without reaching out for help; thus I submit to your organization in the hopes of receiving assistance and restoring the safety and comfort of my home.
Your generosity and support would make an immeasurable difference and I’m immensely grateful for your consideration and any assistance you can provide.
Thank you for your time and attention to my request.
Sincerely,
Crystal Lawson
