My roof is falling in!

And NOW it is snowing!
I am a single lady, age 63. I work 2 part time jobs and I have taken early retirement in order to make ends meet. I currently earn, including my social securiety, about $1300.00 a month.
I finished paying off my small frame house about 15 years ago so I feel very fortunate to have a shelter over my head. I cannot afford house insurance if I could get it in the first place. My house is in desperate need of repair and the people who insure don't care much for its' present condition...so,no insurance.
Friday, 11-27-09, I had a man come to give me an estimate for replacing part of my roof that has been leaking very badly. As he stood on the roof telling me what all he was going to have to do, he literally fell through the roof! This is Serious because winter is brginning and it's rainy!
He quoted me the price of $2,000.00 to fix that portion of the roof which includes materials. I just cannot come up with that much money right now, and I am afraid the city will come and condemn my house now that there is a hole in the roof.
I have horrible credit and I stopped taking out credit cards several years ago because I just could not make regular payments. I cannot get a loan on the house because of this. The last time I tried for a loan against the house, I was told that I also did not make enough money. My house needs about $15,000.00 worth of repairs. Plumbing, roof and structural repairs. I can't buy another house for this kind of money and I truly need help just repairing the present situation with the roof. Every little bit helps!
If anyone out there could find it in their hearts to help me raise the dollars to repair my roof, I truly appreciate it.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story...Be Well and blessed. |
