Help Removing a roof

[kathycolegrace]

My name is Kathy. I am writing a request on behalf of my mother in law who lived in Bay St. Louis and lost everything in Katrina. I am looking for anyone with the equipment, time, and huge heart who would volunteer their time to try to help lift her roof off her house. Their is still stuff in the interior that can be saved if we can get the roof off to go in. She was lucky enough(if you can even call it lucky) to have her roof trap about half her belongings inside the house when it collapsed. She just needs help moving the roof off!!! any help anyone could give to her would mean more than anything in this world to her and to me. You can email me at kcasama@msn.com. Again, it would have to be a total volunteer thing as she has no money and her insurance is screwing her just like everyone else. They are saying flood destroyed her home and she wasn't covered. They may be cold hearted, but I know there are a lot of good people out there. I sure hope some of you will read my plea and we can help her start to rebuild without them.Thanks so much. Kathy
