DISABLED MAN AND WIFE NEED HELP

December 12 2007, 8:53 PM 

OUR HOUSE NEEDS NEW ROOFING AND REPAIRS, AND ALSO BATHROOM NEEDS TO BE WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE.HUSBAND IS 59, DISABLED, I AM 60 AND HAVE BAD BACK, SO I CAN'T DO THE WORK, PLUS, WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY. WE HAD AN 84 YEAR OLD LIVING WITH US AND HAD EVERYTHING SET TO BUILD A NEW HANDICAPPED HOUSE IN HATTIESBURG, MISSISSIPPI, BUT ALL CONTRACTORS WERE TOO BUSY WITH KATRINA REPAIR TO BEGIN CONSTRUCTION. IN THE MEANTIME, THE 84 YEAR OLD DIED, NOW WE DO NOT QUALIFY. WE LIVE IN NATCHEZ, MISSISSIPPI. MY YOUNGEST SON LIVES IN HATTIESBURG AREA. ALL 3 OF OUR KIDS LIVES OUT OF TOWN, SO THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO HELP. MY CREDIT REPORT HAS ABOUT $20,000 OF HOSPITAL BILLS THAT I COULD NOT PAY. THANKS
