Campaign Story
In August of 2012, my brother was injured in Afghanistan; he suffered multiple traumatic wounds, and I was called away from my duty station at Fort Carson to his bedside. I stayed as his non-medical attendant (NMA), and am due to go home next month. My house was vacant since November, when my roommates moved out and my husband stopped by to get the cats, as he is in school full time in Florida.
Earlier this week, the motion sensor in my home went off. ADT called, and the cops were sent out; that was when I discovered a water pipe in the upstairs bathroom burst. My husband and I are new homeowners, and when he left in November, he turned the heat off to save money. We didn't know about the risk of pipes bursting, but because we neglected to maintain the house, insurance won't cover the damage to the house. The water leaked for weeks, and as of his post, my dining room ceiling and garage ceiling have caved in, and every room has water damage. The carpets are ruined and the repair cost is astronomical. As my insurance company doesn't forgive stupid rookie mistakes, I have nowhere else to turn. I'm due to return to Colorado Springs in a month, and as it stands, I won't have a home to go back to.
Any donations will be gratefully accepted, and for as long as we own the house, there will be a wall in our home painted with the names of contributors to this fundraiser.
Rewards

Update 1
Update posted by xelccit at 03:30 pmHey guys. Had to up the final donation goal a little because of rising costs. I have to pay for an asbestos inspector to go out, and they charge $400 initially, and then $30 per sample taken. Given that every room in my house is damaged, I'm imagining the final
