IMMOKALEE, Fla. - 80-year-old Alfiree Jackson is dealing with a big
problem in the ceiling of her hallway and bathroom - some serious leaks.
Her daughter says the family can't afford to fix it. So she reached out to Fox 4- sending anchor Patrick Nolan asking if there's anything the station can do to help.
4 In Your Corner's Karl Fortier went to the home in Immokalee to look into the family's concerns.
Jackson told Karl the trouble started about a year ago.
"The ceiling got real soft, and pretty soon the water started dripping," Jackson said.
She says when it rains, she has to put pots and pans in the hall to catch the water leaking through the ceiling, which is visibly sagging.
There also appears to be what looks like mold forming around the vent in the bathroom nearby.
"I'm just worried about my mom being in here and getting sick with the mold," her daughter Patricia Green said.
"The ceiling's eventually going to fall in if we don't get it taken care of."
She says a repair crew from out of town had been in the attic doing some work, and she thought they might have caused the problem. B
But when they came back to look at the issue, they denied responsibility.
Green says her mother cannot afford the cost of repairs.
They're now hoping that someone with the know-how to do the work is in the giving spirit.
If you're able to help Jackson with her ceiling repairs, or know of some other options, you can call Fox 4 at 239-206-FOX 4 or email us at news@fox4now.com.
