Help a New Prague Family With a Critical Sewer System Repair
A New Prague household is seeking financial assistance for a major sewer line repair needed to keep their home safe and functional. The home’s main sewer line has significant problems and is not up to code, preventing the sewer system from functioning as it should. This is not a cosmetic improvement or optional home project. The repair requires professional plumbing and excavation work, including breaking and removing interior concrete, exterior excavation, repair or replacement of portions of the sewer line, hydrojetting, debris removal, and related permit and inspection costs. The household has obtained a professional estimate totaling $14,688.32. The family is unable to financially manage a repair of this size on their own. They have taken the appropriate first steps by having the issue professionally assessed, obtaining an estimate, and exploring financial assistance through community resources. Assistance from FISH would help bridge the financial gap and allow this necessary repair to move forward.$0.00 of $14688.32

What caused this need?
The household is also managing significant health and daily living challenges. One family member has multiple chronic health conditions that contribute to ongoing pain, fatigue, limited mobility, and decreased stamina. They rely on assistance from their spouse with some daily activities, making it especially important for the home to remain safe and functional. The family would like to remain in their home, and relocating is not a realistic solution to the sewer issue. Despite the financial hardship, they have been proactive in addressing the problem by having it evaluated and determining exactly what work is necessary. Community assistance with this repair would provide meaningful relief to a household already managing substantial health-related needs and expenses. It would allow the family to address an essential home repair that is currently beyond their financial means and help them continue living safely in their home.
