Trying my best for my family

Donation protected
My family and I have been living in a messed up situation. Mold, holes in floors, walls, ceiling, roof. Due to our financial situation, we've had to handle things differently then we would have liked. We managed to buy a small piece of land out in the country by the skin of our teeth and a lot of penny pinching. We had hoped our present situation would hold up, but we were mistaken. The recent hurricanes an such have amplified it's demise. I WISH I was exaggerating as to the condition. The pic i shared is just one spot in our present home, an it's not even the worst spot in this place.  Now we are trying to figure out how to get a used trailer moved onto the land so we don't have to depend on anyone but ourselves. I have severe mobility issues, I spend most of my time getting around in a wheelchair. My husband, myself and our kids do everything we can to try to get money, but having one kid finishing college, one getting married and none of them driving (we can't afford driving school, or the extra insurance, or another vehicle), we are barely making ends meet.  I have been trying to sell what little bit of stuff we have of any value, but there really isnt that much.    We have been through hell between fire, hurricanes and covid.  I am fighting tooth and nail to get us out of our present situation. My family deserves better then we have right now.  we DON'T want a new place, we just want something big enough, that is more livable then this place we are in.  I have exhausted sooooo much time to trying to make things easier for our fam, but i have stretched myself so thin that it's ridiculous.  I am now at the point where I am willing to beg for help. I seriously don't know what else to do. Sadly, assistance is not as available to families like ours.  My husband is an Air Force Vet, but the VA won't help when trying to get a used mobile home.  Neither of us has the best credit, we have no credit cards and have just about everything prepaid.  We are becoming desperate. We don't want anything fancy, just safe and big enough for our large family. 

It would mean the world to my family for ANY help we receive.  My family would actually be able to breathe without fear of mold making us sick. Or fear of our bathtub falling through the floor with us in it.  I have no problems sharing pics/videos of our progress to a better life.  To go from mold, holes an hell to a beautiful little piece of land with a home of our own on it.  I know that this is a strange and complicated time we live in. I also know that things are tight all over the world due to covid. So, ANY donation is a blessing. even a donation of supplies to renovate a possible used mobile home.  We are in SE Louisiana and need to get the hell outta this moldy block of swiss cheese we are presently living in.  I will happily answer any questions anyone has (PLEASE don't be ugly to us about our situation).
