Application Details

Foster Parents' Sewer Bill Stinks! | Cost to fully fund this application: 1,000.00 Modest Needs Points

Hello. My husband and I have been foster parents for over seven years. We adopted two of the children last year. We have been doing very well until my husband's recent job change due to his previous lay off. He is currently working at a new location, but we have had to endure increase in fuel cost and automobile repairs from the long drive my husband has to take daily.

We are slowly getting caught back up on our bills, but now are faced with a leaking sewer. I have had it drained two times now, which isn't cheap, to find that this is only a temporary fix. I am asking for help today because I have been assured that by getting a new pipe laid it would permanently fix the sewer leak.

My children have not been able to play in the back yard for several months now because this is where the sewer leak is running to! I am hoping to get this problem fixed before the winter months so we don't have sewage snow! Yuck! I would really appreciate any help at this time. This would be a big stress reliever for me and my family. Thank you for listening and God bless!
