Bast Ravenshadow hasn't added a story.
My name is Bast and I need your help.
Since my father died, my mother, myself and my daughter have
just had one financial difficulty after another. We live off of the
generosity of our friends and my mother's meagre social security
check, as unemployment is very high in our rural area and my mother
needs 24/7 assistance.
We have a home with a tin roof. Our roof has needed recoating
for years now, and we've learned that now it's too late to just recoat
it. It needs sections of the tin replaced. I've found someone willing
to do the recoat and replacement of up to four sections of tin for
right around $800.Obviously if more tin is needed to be replaced, that
will cost more. However, I'm hoping for good luck for once. The
contractor says he doubts we will make it through winter without
leakage if I don't do the replacement and recoat.
Our wood porch steps also need to be replaced - we have three
sets of steps (two front porch steps and one back porch steps) which
are all bad. The dirt foundation under the front porch steps has
fallen/eroded, and the steps themselves are falling apart. To replace
both front steps and railing as well as fixing the foundation under
the steps will be $600. I'm afraid my mother or someone will be
gravely injured, and there's no other way out of the house but these
steps.
I do realise this is a lot of money and I hate to ask for help,
but I simply cannot do this on my own. If I happen to raise more than
the requested amount ($1400), I will use any additional funds to do
other maintenance on our home that we've had to neglect due to simply
not having the funds. However, even if you can't help me monetarily,
please considering passing a link to this fundraiser on. I appreciate
it, so much.
