Hurricane Sandy destroyed my home!

Please help me as I have helped people on this site! My home was destroyed in Hurriciane Sandy. I am a single mother or 2 boys and the bay overflowed and flooded my home in Howard Beach, NY. I have no flood insurance and FEMA is only giving me minimal amount, not enough to replace the furnace and hot water heater, which were under salt water and not fixable. I am begging for help, either replacement heater and hot water. My washer and dryer were ruined too but I will deal with going to the laundromat. Right now, I am displaced, and cannot live in the home. We have no power or gas or hot water. Mold is starting to grow. It is freezing here, snowing outside with the new storm. Thankfully we can stay with friends for now, but we are desperate to get home so my children can resume some normalcy. I have not worked since the storm, because the school I contract at is flooded, and we are waiting for it to open again. I am BROKE and need help, please!!!

To all of the wonderful heroes out there: THANK YOU!!!!! I am happy to say that I am in my house and have electricity (had the rewiring done last week); still waiting for hot water and heat!! But I now know that those will come soon, thanks to all of you! I am overwhelmed and grateful for all of your generous support and well wishes! Please keep me and my children in your thoughts and prayers as we try to rebuild our life. I will pray for all of you and I am eternally grateful.

Hi. Our family had a bake sale yesterday to raise money for someone in need as a result of hurricane Sandy. After seeing your post and being so touched by you, we decided to donated all our proceeds to you and your boys. We are incredibly sorry for everything you are going through. We hope this help you in some way to get back to normalcy.

With love, The Max Family
