Finding Help to Rebuild After a Fire?

Where do you go for help to rebuild a home that burned down in a storm. We live in Dallas Texas and my mom is 81 and had no insurance.

I haven't heard of any organizations that help rebuilding a house because the owner didn't have insurance or for any other reason. Your mother might have to sell the house as is and get a rental. If she is a member of a church she should talk to her pastor, because sometimes they will take up a special offering for needy members of the congregation and there might even be some members that can do some of the work and maybe even furnish some of the materials needed for the repairs. That being said if the house has to be completely rebuilt that is expecting too much for any organization.

At the age you say your mother is, it was up to you to make sure she had things like insurance on her house. I am 75 and know that if you own a home you have to have homeowner's insurance. I rent and I have renter's insurance in case there would be a fire in my apartment that would be my fault, to pay for damages to the apartment and to cover my belongings.
