Application Details

Deployed Soldier - Storm Damage | Cost to fully fund this application: 92.00 Modest Needs Points

My husband is currently deployed with the National Guard. While he is away our home experienced a serious flood due the storms that occurred during March.

My insurance company investigated my basement and found water damage. It was also determined that the ground water seeped into the dwelling, damaging the walls and carpet.

Additionally, my back door was destroyed and we had to hire a man to come replace it. I have had multiple contractors in my home and am paying out of pocket as my insurance policy does not cover water damage.

In addition to all of these expenses, I had drying equipment running around the clock which caused an increase in my electric bill. I would appreciate any help getting on top of this issue. I am requesting the assistance with the electric bill while I am still negotiating repair necessities and costs. Thank you in advance for your consideration in this matter.
