A few days ago our fully-finished basement flooded (sump-pump back up with the heavy rains), and we have an insurance "rider" that was supposed to cover just this thing. So, the insurance company told us to go ahead and have Servpro come and start the clean-up, which we did, and they came the next morning and 3 people worked for 8 hours and still weren't finished!
Then, the next day, the insurance company calls and they are trying to get out of paying our claim (after the clean-up company had already done between $3500.-5000. worth of work! That's without them putting anything back together or finishing the clean-up.)
Now, our basement is a disaster (because carpet has been ripped up, linoleum torn up, baseboards all removed, all the furniture and personal belongings moved everywhere and put up on blocks, I can barely get to my washer and dryer, can't find anything we need, etc.) It just feels so overwhelming!
Then, to top it all off, I've been sick almost two weeks. It just started as a very mild cold, but I'm worried that it may be turning into bronchitis or pneumonia (which I've had 2 of the last 3 summers)! I'm so tired and can't stop coughing, etc., but I hate to go to the doctor if it's just viral and they can't do anything.
SO, my husband said it would be fine to hold off on school until at least next week or when we can get things more settled around here and I'm feeling better again. I know God will work this all out for our good (Romans 8:28) and His glory, but in the meantime we're just trying to keep afloat (pun intended!)
We really have no idea how we are going to pay for everything if the insurance company doesn't cover this. Could you please remember us in your prayers if you wouldn't mind? We are just feeling overwhemed and a bit deflated. I really want to get a great start to our homeschool year, especially since I'm so excited to start our HOD and DITHOR!! Thanks and love to all!!
