About this fundraiser

Home and shed, and everything I own was washed away. I don't even know what to think or feel right now. Maybe in shock. I'm alive and safe, so it's got to get better from here, right? 

 

If I can find a way to get access to  where my home was, I'll update photos on here. Thank you everyone for helping and or sharing. I know there are so many more people needing help. I feel helpless and wish I could be helping others instead. 

My landlord sent me what was found of my place washed up in a neighboring field.

This is embarrassing and humbling for me to even ask but my resources and capabilities have run dry.

As you know I bought a 5th Wheel all set up in park. It's a beautiful park and the guests all seem pretty nice. I am disabled and on a fixed income,  I sold my house ‘as is’ as I couldn't afford the payments and was about to lose everything.  I was able to get back exactly what I originally put down on it when I bought the house which wasn't that much considering. 

I took that and bought this 5th wheel believing it was exactly as it was showed.

However,  I got hoodwinked by the previous owners. 

Upon going in my first day as the new owner I started moving things around that they left behind.

Instantly revealing a bedbug infestation throughout and soft spots/ rot in floor of large slide out, and throughout the walls in back room.

 A leak, running the seam and pouring into walls from the outside in, responsible for the back wall rotting so badly, so bad you can not access the roof by the attached ladder as it's unable to support weight.

So far 2 layers of carpet have been torn out and outside has been started pulling old caulking away but it was so overwhelmingly bad that it now has tarps covering back area to prevent rain possibly getting into it in the backside which is exposed (not covered by the RV Shed/carport).

My spirit is clinging by a thread as my energy is low already, I spent most of my savings already and I live on less than $1000 a month income.

Thank you in advance for anything you can give. Please share if that is all you can do! Much love to all of you.
