Instead of celebrating her 80th birthday, Annie Tucker from Moss Point spent her special day fundraising money to help rebuild her home.
This comes after the June tornado destroyed the property. After all debris was cleared, only steps were left.
“The house is completely gone — as you can see there’s nothing back there,” said Dott. “The entire house is gone. It was a 1,500-square-foot home the tornado destroyed.” Tucker’s home was one of the few homes that had insurance. The only problem is the insurance only covers around 60% of costs, leaving the family with the burden of having to pay several thousands of dollars out of pocket.
“We are trying to reach the gap that the insurance missed out on,” said Tucker. “My parents who are 80 years old have been living here since 1969. The insurance just didn’t give us enough money to rebuild. Even though, the house was destroyed. They agreed it was destroyed. FEMA agreed it was destroyed. They just will not fill in the gap we need in today’s world to fill in the gap.”
