I’m Josmary, a 27-year-old hospitality worker living in Doral on NW 87th Ter. Two nights ago, our entire apartment unit suffered major water destruction when the building’s main rooftop water storage valve snapped. Thousands of gallons of water poured down through the internal walls, collapsing our kitchen drywall ceiling and short-circuiting all major electrical appliances.

Building maintenance cleared the water, but our unit is temporarily unlivable due to exposed wiring and structural ceiling collapse. Renter’s insurance is delaying our displacement claim, and I am stuck paying out-of-pocket for emergency temporary housing while taking unpaid time off work to secure my belongings. I need $4,500 to cover immediate lodging, structural cleanup deposits, and replacement of basic household essentials. Any help or share is a massive lifeline for me right now. Thank you so much!
