How to write an appeal letter to fema Pdf

Dear FEMA,

I am writing to appeal my denied request for a disaster-related loan. I am a small business owner in the [town name] community, and I have suffered considerable damage due to the recent natural disasters. My business’ main location was destroyed by a flood, and I have had to relocate to a new location in order to be operational again. This relocation has cost me thousands of dollars in increased rent and utilities, not to mention all of the extra hours that my employees have needed to work in order to make up for lost time during our move.

In addition, my staff has been devastated by what happened. They were so worried about their families and homes that they were unable to focus on their jobs at all. We had many days when we were unable to open because no one was able to come into work. This has severely affected our ability to generate revenue, which will result in significant financial loss if we do not receive financial assistance soon!

I understand that there are many people who have suffered much more than me or my business did during this recent disaster event–but that does not mean that it is not important! All businesses need support after such an event occurs; they can’t just

Hello,

My name is [name] and I am writing to you from [place]. I am writing to appeal the decision made by FEMA in regards to my application for disaster assistance.

My home was severely damaged by [disaster]. My family has been displaced, and we are currently living in a hotel. With the help of friends, we have been able to make it this far, but we desperately need assistance in order to get back on our feet.

I know that many people are going through similar situations right now, but I also know that there will always be someone worse off than you. Please consider my situation and make an exception for me.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration!

Dear FEMA,

I’m writing to appeal my denial of the Small Business Administration’s Business Disaster Loan Program.

I was devastated when I learned that my business had been damaged by Hurricane [name], and I still am struggling to make ends meet each month because of this. I have had to let go a number of employees, and it’s hard to watch their families struggle as well. I know that it’s not fair for me to ask you for help when so many others are struggling in similar ways, but I hope you can understand why I feel compelled to do so: without this loan, my business won’t survive!

I know that if anyone can help me, it’s you. Please consider giving me the loan I need so badly. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Dear FEMA,

I am writing to appeal the decision that my home is not eligible for relief. I have lived in the house at [address] since 2016 and have been paying taxes on it ever since. The house sustained significant damage during the storm, but I am able to live there with my family and do not need to move out.

The property is valued at $200,000. It sustained $100,000 in damage, but will cost $50,000 to repair because it is a historic property.

I understand that you are under pressure to help as many people as possible, but I think you should reconsider your decision in this case.

Subject: Appeal for Disaster Assistance

Dear FEMA,

I am writing to appeal the decision to deny my request for disaster assistance. I have lived in my home for 20 years and have never had any issues with flooding. However, in the past few months, we have had several days of heavy rain where water came up into our basement and ruined many of our belongings. Our insurance company has refused to pay for the damages, citing an exclusion clause that states they will not cover damage caused by flooding from a natural disaster.

It is impossible for me to believe that this flood was caused by anything but nature. It is also impossible for me to believe that FEMA would refuse to help me when I need it most because of such a flimsy excuse as “natural disaster.” The real reason your organization denied my request is because you want me to pay for this damage out of pocket so that you can recoup some of the money spent on other people’s disasters in other areas.

I know you are understaffed and underfunded, but I feel like denying my claim is going too far. Please reconsider your decision and approve my appeal so that I can get back on track with my life!

Dear FEMA,

I am writing to you today to appeal my denial of FEMA assistance. I have been denied assistance twice now, and it has taken me a long time to get back on my feet after the last flood.

I had hoped that FEMA would help me, but unfortunately, I was denied both times. I’ve appealed one of those denials, but I need your help in appealing the other one so that I can continue rebuilding my home and move forward with rebuilding my life.

My name is [name], and I live at [address]. I have lived here for [number] years, and before the flood, it was a wonderful place to raise my family. Now it is just a reminder of how much we lost in the flood—and how much more we could lose if we don’t get enough help from FEMA.

As a result of our losses during the flood, we are unable to meet our financial obligations for all expenses related to rebuilding our home. Our insurance company has covered some expenses such as temporary housing costs and contractor costs for repairs; however, these funds will run out soon unless we can secure additional sources of income or assistance from other sources like FEMA.

Hello,

My name is [name]. I’m writing you because my family needs assistance with our home. We haven’t been able to pay the mortgage since October, and we’ve been kicked out of our house. My husband had a heart attack and lost his job, so he can’t work and I have to stay home with him. We have three kids who are still in school, and we can’t afford to put them through college if we don’t get help with this situation. Our home is our only asset, but it’s not enough to cover our expenses or get us back on track financially.

I hope that you will consider helping us by extending our loan payment period or lowering the rate on our loan.

Good morning,

I am writing to ask for your assistance with a personal matter. I have been struggling to get help with my rent, which I am currently unable to pay. I have been living in this apartment for the past four years, and it has always been difficult to make ends meet. However, since my husband lost his job last year and was unable to find work again before he passed away, things have gotten even harder.

I have done everything I can think of in order to keep us afloat—we cancelled our cable service and sold our car so we could buy less expensive food and reduce our monthly expenses as much as possible. But my husband’s death left me in debt for medical bills that were not covered by insurance, and now his pension payments are not enough to cover our monthly expenses and rent. I am hoping that you will be able to help me out during this difficult time.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can provide you with in order to prove how serious this situation is becoming!

Hi,

My name is [name] and I’m writing to you because I’m hoping to get some help from FEMA.

I’ve been living in my home for [number] years and it’s been a wonderful place to raise my family. But recently we’ve had some unexpected expenses that have put a strain on our budget, which is why we’re looking to apply for a loan through your agency. As well as being a homeowner, I’m also a [job title].

I was wondering if there was a way to find out about how to apply or what the requirements are for getting approved?
