Urgent Help Needed to Save Charles' Home

Donation protected
Hello everyone, my name is Charles K. Pollreisz, the only child and son of Charles F. Pollreisz, the only father I've ever known, a Navy veteran of the United States of America, and grandson of Helen Pollreisz, seamstress for the Empire State Building in New York. I have now lost both my grandmother and father who raised me my whole life.

I am now currently living in the home I was raised in from birth with my grandmother and father. I am now 21, living entirely alone, struggling to pay the property tax and utilities all on my own. Now the state wants me and my childhood home my family built in 1968. I've been trying to save my home for years because there's no proof my father is my father besides the fact he raised me and cared for me. I'm in so much pain and so tired. I didn't think my family passing would cause this much drama and turmoil.

The state asked me to dig him up for a DNA test then bury him again, knowing that my father claimed me his whole life in the home we had resided in together. The only problem is that he was not on my birth certificate for reasons unknown. Even William Floyd School District recognized him as my father but not the state? In order to get the DNA test the state wants, I need $5000 to dig him up then bury him again. I need help and hopefully soon. I'm not begging, but I am asking anyone to please help me save my house. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm just lost, done, and in pain. Please help.
