I had a fire in my home Dec 1st in PA. I lost everything. I am single, all alone and on disability. Can't afford to rebuild. Can I get any help? I am reaching out as the house was not insured. Please help. Is there any assistance available?

It depends on what type of help you are requesting. I don't know of any organization that will rebuild a house. There is Habitat for Humanity, but you have to meet certain requirements, and just because you apply doesn't mean you will be accepted and if you are accepted there is usually a quite a waiting list before your name comes up to have the house built.
If you are planning on moving into an apartment, which is what I would do, you can go to the office of a nearby Salvation Army and ask for a voucher for free furniture and the furniture you need has to be the necessities, usually they don't consider things like a computer or TVs necessities.
Some people can't afford insurance
If they could they most likely wouldn't be asking for HELP

"Anybody who owns a home should have fire insurance" is a rude thing to say to someone who did not have it. In some people's cases, like my elderly parents, they lost their insurance after the house lot was in disrepair during a 9-month hospital stay.
Not everyone can afford insurance no need to make that statement
This same thing happened to a girl friend years ago but it was her young daughter that was disabled. They too lost everything including their miniature poodle [poor thing] it didn't make it out of the house. They went to the county they lived in and the Salvation Army for help.
Call your social worker and let them know what has happened to you. Perhaps the YWCA could answer some of your questions also. Your in my thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time.
Thank you, can you please give me PYWCA NUMBER PLEASE...

You could check out craigslist.org in your area and click on FREE category from the list. Browse to find anything you might need that someone wants to part with. Some have photos of the item.
Craigslist is also a good place to find used furnishings and you are given the option of whether you want to look at owner or business. Also, key in your town and state to see what is closest to you. Good luck Robin.
iwould like to get contacted with them..but how..istill struggle to rebuild my burn house..any help please..
It seems you have survived for a month after the fire so I assume you have "some" help. The Salvation Army may be able to give you some names of organizations where you can apply for assistance.
Most likely you will not get help to rebuild but you may qualify for housing assistance and the basic necessities. You can also ask for assistance from your local community service center (this may be located in the same area where you apply for food stamp assistance).
Most larger cities have a list of "help" centers when you dial 211 on your phone or you can find them listed in your local phone book.
These agencies may also be listed on the Internet. Try asking your question on Google but include your city name. Many people who need this type of assistance ask for help from their church - have you tired this?
