“Insufficient Damage” for Frances, Jeanne, and Wilma. My roof is leaking, my floors are collapsing, I have mold in various places throughout the house, and have had my appeals turned down for Frances and Jeanne. No response yet to my appeal for Wilma damages after 6 months. What is going on here? People who could afford generators got reimbursed. If you couldn’t afford one in the first place…well, too bad. Who the heck is getting all the money and why???? We live on Social Security. We both suffer from health problems that prevent us from repairing damage ourselves, even if we could afford it, which we can’t. I HATE Fema! It is disrespectful, discriminatory, and hires so-called investigators that are completely ignorant about mobile homes and assessing damage. Not one investigator bother to use the ladder I offered to look at the roof damage. They simply measured the house, and, as long as we had one working bathroom and bedroom, we were out of luck. Guess we should have lied like the people in Miami who made a bundle in 2004. We just wanted assistance, not a windfall.

i truly understand what you are going through.me and my family went through the same thing.we lived right where the water came in, in slidell and the roof collapsed in the two bedrooms and the ceiling was lifted uo in the bathroom and the oter bathroom the water was coming in it. my daughter had just had a premature baby girl which weighed only 1 pound on 8/23/05 and we had other apartmenets fly off the complex we wasliving in .the inspector came and when he keyed it into his computer he said we had no damages at all. but when he talked to us he said it was a total lose. well i appealled about 3 times and they said the same thing insuff. damages, but any fool could see we had to sleep in the living room on the floor until the water went down enough to get out of the house with my daughter that had just had her baby. until my husband said let them know that you got pictures of the house before and after the storm which they said wasn’t going to do them any good. but there was people in the apartment complex that didn’t have any damages and guess what that is the ones that got all the money.one of my neighbors got 13,ooo for damages she didn’t have where as we that tell the truth and have damages don’t get crap.fema is a joke.
