Hi, my name is Stephen Bernard, but I go by Alex. I have a home here in Houston, Texas, which was recently affected by Hurricane Baryl. Being an hour away from the mainland, you'd think we'd be OK. I'm originally from Louisville, Kentucky, and I've never had to worry about this. The cover photo is only one portion of my backyard. I'm also a new homeowner. Unfortunately, my home insurance doesn't cover natural disasters. You can Google Texas insurance companies and see if they cover natural disasters or hurricane disasters specifically. It's a tough situation to be in.

I have a wedding coming up on October 21 in Arrington, Tennessee, which is already costing so much, and now this disaster has hit us out of nowhere. We have another branch over our driveway that hangs in the front yard that completely split and needs to be removed. That tree needs to be removed and it is enormous. They said I have 50 feet off that I need to repair. That one side and the other side is only like 10 feet. But they're going to say it's around $3700. Also, not to mention the debris pick up and I wasn't including another tree that fell on the other side, but that one didn't completely fall. It just got split in half. The tree itself is not savable. It's a smaller tree than the first one but still a good size. With that included, it's going to be about $5500 total.

Our HOA is not a friendly one. Of course, they will say they are sympathetic with the times, but they are very quick to charge fees. We didn't expect this so if anybody can spare anything for this repair, that would be very, very, very appreciated and special to our family. I'm embarrassed to have even made this page, but I wasn't counting on this as a natural disaster. And thank you to Allstate... for nothing. I'm sorry if that last part was inappropriate, I'm just upset.

to be more specific, it’s me my wife and two daughters that live here. We live in Spring, Texas, which we consider An area of Houston. Because of money spent towards a wedding, we had no idea this would happen and This put us in a hard snag I promise to pay it forward. The money will be spent on removing the very large tree the other middle size tree fixing 50 foot of fence repair and another 10 foot fence repai So 60 feet total. Also debris removal We will gladly take pictures and update the process. We have been taking videos. Today is July 9th, We haven’t had power for 48 hours
