Need Help With Leaking Roof

My Story:

Our roof started leaking about 3 years ago. We had a contractor start working on the repairs. He then took our money and did not finish the repairs. We found out later he lied about having a license. We patched the roof as best as we could and tried to save money up again to finish the job. We have 4 children at home and this is difficult with our pay. We tried to get a loan through a roofing program to help.

By the time we found a new contractor and he gave us an estimate, the roofing program lost their funding. We have since found a contractor and got an estimate for the repairs, but need help with the cost. There is alot of damage from the leaking.

There are rotten boards and supports that need replaced, mold on walls, ceiling, carpet and floors, rotten flooring in places. With this help we can finally get back to having a normal house. We have a close, loving family. My husband and I both work full time. We work hard for our family's happiness and health.

This project needs done so it doesn't get any worse. It is not a healthy living situation at the moment. Please consider helping our family.
