Flood disaster aid question
Posted on 3/21/16 at 8:05 pm

A good friend of mine and co-worker's mother lost her home during the flood storm. It was a total loss. She said that her mother's roof was blown off of the home and that she did not have insurance. Her mom is in her late sixties and widowed. She lives in Maringouin and Iberville Parish was not listed as a disaster area for federal aid. She has tried filing with fema and with the Red Cross but they are telling her that there is nothing they can do because she is not in a disaster area. Does anyone know of any other resources she could look to for help? I know that her church, friends and family are helping the best they can. Thanks in advance.

Not trying to be a dick(or maybe I am) but why should she get anything. If you don't have insurance then that is the chance you take.

Sorry to hear that, but unfortunately she rolled the dice and lost the risk/reward instance lottery...

No doubt insurance would have been the best option but this is no longer an option for her. From what my friend told me, she was on a fixed income and living month to month.

SBA loan up to 50,000 with a 4% interest rate

man, that sucks balls...too late in life to recover from that, too. I would start looking for a used mobile home or something like that to set her up in...
