Hi my name is David, my dear Cousin's Marianne's home was flooded in 2018 by Hurricane Florence here in NC. After she suffered a stroke in 2017, I was her sole 24/7 caregiver for almost five years. In 2019, FEMA was supposed to repair her home and they bailed. In 2020, we entered the ReBuildNC/HUD program to repair her home. Sadly, Cousin Marianne passed away in 2022 never being able to go back home. The photo is of Cousin Marianne and me in happier times.
ReBuildNC/HUD as part of the program was to pay me a stipend for rent and storage until I was back in my home. They recently removed me from the program without cause and stopped the stipend and storage payments so now I am facing foreclosure of my Hurricane Florence Flooded home, eviction from my temporary apartment, and auction this week of all my belongings in storage through no fault of my own. ReBuildNC/HUD still has not responded to my legally filed appeal that I submitted back in March 2025. Yes, there are thousands of us here in Eastern North Carolina who still are displaced, some going on nine and seven years!
Please pray for me and also for my friend Tammy who is in a similar situation with ReBuildNC in SENC and also for the thousand of others here in ENC who are still displaced/homeless since Hurricanes Matthew (2016) and Florence (2018). Also, please keep the good people of WNC in your prayers as the State of NC is headed down the same path that they did here in ENC.
I apologize for asking, but if anyone is able to assist, I would greatly appreciate it. Once I receive the stipend and storage from ReBuildNC/HUD, I will pay it forward to help others. Many Thanks. Sincerely, David
Note: This would have never been necessary had Cooper, Stein, Buffaloe, Hogshead, Arlyn, Gibson, and their cohorts done their jobs properly years ago. This present crisis could have been avoided had NC Rep. Steve Tyson and NC Sen. Bob Brinson properly did their jobs in the past four months.
