[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 475227, member: 84"] Well, I dunno who you can call there but here we call community action because ours does at least minor home repair.......so while if they did help it wouldn't be a lot, every little bit helps. Try habitat for humanity, they may also come in and volunteer some home repair on a larger scale. Have they ever attended church? Contact the pastor, let him know the situation, see if a fund raiser could be held and maybe some volunteers with know how rounded up to help. I thought of this one because my mom has talked about her church doing it more than once. Perhaps you could contact the health dept to see if they have any clue of others you could contact for help. And before you ask to trade......you've not seen the upstairs or the family room. :rofl: But at least it's not like falling down or anything. (thank god and knocks on wood) We're getting into holiday season..........ummm maybe a huge church bake sale bizarre thing to raise money for the repairs? Sell off some of their "junk" (which is not always junk once cleaned up some antique places would snatch it up) And this is going to sound meanish but I wouldn't invest any of your own money into it if there is the slightest chance that social services won't let them remain in the house due to living conditions. You'd just be throwing it away. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
