I am a 69 year old widow trying to raise a teenage grandson on a fixed income. My husband left no insurance and little pension. Even with SS, to make it through the month without overdrafting is almost impossible. My problem is this: My home is falling apart. There is a gap of at least 4 inches, maybe 6 inches on the south end of my home. The floor is cracked through the entire house. I hear timbers splintering when it is quiet. I am afraid my home will fall in on us. BUT I cannot afford repair. I have asked my congressmen for some direction to no avail. Is there a way to get some help? I have never asked anyone for anything other than lower lunch rates for my grandchildren (I had guardianship of 2 grandchildren until this year). Is there any help out there? If someone has an answer, please advise me before my home is rubble. AND that won't be long. In MS we have extreme heat and extreme cold which causes the earth to heave thus causing foundation problems. PLEASE let me know if there is any help out there.
