Brenda Steele cries as she explains what she will do if FEMA takes the mobile home her husband and children moved into in July 2006, four months before her husband died.
“They start to get it,” she said, “they’re going to have me and the kids in it. They’ll pull it down the road with me and the kids in it.”
Steele, who lives in Harrison County, said FEMA has just informed her she can buy the trailer for $7,500, but she doesn’t have that kind of money. Her 44-year-old husband suffered multiple health problems, and so do her two children.
Steele is one of 1,910 Mississippians for whom FEMA assistance ends today after an agency record of 44 months.
