I am disabled and take home less than 1300$ a month. I have a bathroom floor that is soft and a roof in the bathroom that is leaking. Where can I go for help? I do have a family, so I really need this repair done. Thank you.

I live off $700.00 a month retirement Social Security, so you are lucky to have the amount income that you do. Does you spouse work? If not, they should be and that would be extra income. If you have a social worker/welfare case manager with the Department of Social Services/Welfare Office talk to that person, they might be able to help you. Also IF you have a pastor talk to him/her, sometimes they will take up a special offering for a needy member of the congregation. I got smart back in 1983 when I got divorced and we sold the house. I moved into a rental and have lived in rentals since than, I don't have to worry about home repairs, appliances, yard works, snow removal, etc.
Check with local civic orgs or churches - habitat for humanity - local tv stations - town hall - united way - lowes & home depot -211 or 311 info lines, etc. many communities have a day or 2 where volunteers get together to help those in need with chores and repairs and local businesses donate supplies.
