Congratulations Sue. Im very glad that you and your family were able to pull out of that mess. And like Proforce said, its amazing to see people pitch in, especially ones that you have never met in person. God bless you and your family.

We still need about five hundred bucks to fix our roof before it caves in, so if anyone wants to help us out, I would not complain and would be very grateful

[Sueric]

Ugh!!

We just got done paying out nearly 2k to hook up into the town’s new sewer system. They told us originally that there would be “help” to pay for it, but they failed to mention that you have to be over 60 years old in order to qualify for it, which just figures. Oh, and our sump pump gave out, too, which was another stupid thing to be replaced. When it rains it pours, which is just enough to make me feel like moving into a box under a bridge somewhere … *sigh*

Right now, we’re in dire need of roof repairs (the 20×10 foot section, roughly 200 square feet) that will cost around 500.00 as well as trying to save up for the genetic testing that our son needs in order to diagnose whether or not he has maple syrup urine disorder. The roof is in really bad shape right over the kids’ room, and we found out this weekend that there’s a small area in the closet that has developed a hole. We were hoping to do the roof this month, but with everything else that has sneaked up on us, I’m worried that we won’t be able to. And yeah, the roof is THAT bad that it isn’t going to last much more than a few months. When we first figured out that it needed to be repaired, Eric’s hours had been cut down drastically, and now, while Eric’s hours are a little better, they’re still not back where they were before.

All help would be greatly appreciated

Update: Well, we've found out that we need to replace the flashing in on the roof, too. It's so rotted that if we don't, the new roof will just slide right off of it eventually. Not a huge thing, but we're now about 250 short of the goal because of the extra work. I've tried talking some of the local lumber companies into giving us a deal, but it hasn't gotten me anywhere. Any help would still be appreciated. Thanks to everyone who has helped out so far
