Water Heater Explosion and Covid

On May 25th at 9:30 pm

my hot water heater catastrophically failed and dumped 600 gallons of water into my home. My savings had already been depleted from both divorce and job loss.

I had secured new employment and then got diagnosed with Covid-19 In conjunction with delayed testing for work due to staffing issues at the testing company which delayed my start date. Until June 13th.

Thankfully Emma did not get covid and is quarantining with her dad while I recover. The extended loss of income has crippled me beyond measure. The deductible required by home owners is not something I can meet on my own. And the now 6 weeks of no income has me in a position where I can not make my mortage payment or utilities payment all of which have to be paid to facilitate the remainder of cleanup.

I am so grateful that I have a place to stay in the interim. But I have to have my house repaired and treated for mold and mildew to make it safe for Emma and myself to come home to. Any little bit helps and is appreciated.
