Grandfather(80) lives alone in village, the house he's living in is 60 years old by now and in the process of decay, for years every time it rains, it's leaking from the ceiling, there are constant problems with electricity and times when the fire almost started since the fuse and cables are directly under the worst leaking place and toilet bowl doesn't work, not to even mention pipe problems. Considering that house is in the recess ground, every time the rain gets harsher there is a risk of flooding so the porch needs to be built. We tried to paint over it and fix the holes but to no use, every time it rains it just gets ruined yet again. This is from 2023, now it's miles worse.
Besides the old small furnace he has no means of warming the house which means that during the winter, it is almost impossible to live there normally and there is no isolation. The only other option he has is the other small house in the yard which is almost 200 years old and almost completely collapsed on it's own with no toilet or anything, it is just a shed for old stuff by this point.
It needs to be renovated almost from the ground up along with isolation, pipes, walls, porch, heating and complete rebuilt of the ceiling which wasn't even made correctly in the first place when they built the house.
They estimated that renovations and everything in total will cost about 30,000$, we managed to accumulate 10,000$ with the help of family and neighbors, and we're aiming to do it by the end of summer considering that the ceiling alone probably won't last another winter and we don't want to leave grandfather in that for another year since he has nowhere else to go.
I'll be setting the starting goal to 5000$.
Thank you in advance to whoever has to help, it really means a lot.
