Denied by FEMA for home repairs, Sterling Guidry is sitting in his truck outside Houma, LA digging through papers to find a document proving he owed a home that hurricane Ida destroyed a month ago. If he can, he can appeal to FEMA. See more of his story, Wednesday on @CBSMornings 
Sterling and his daughter Bre have been staying in their car every night where there’s AC and the ability to charge their phones, which is their entertainment source, too. Around 10 PM each night they move to a tent in their yard to sleep.
Today, Sterling made good progress on and outhouse of sorts that has their tub in it. They’re hoping to be able to use it to bath. They’ve been using a nearby porta potty to bath nightly for most of the last month.
Sterling has said: I don’t need food & water I need boards & nails. We have been in constant communication with FEMA over the last few days about Sterling‘s case, asking: how he can get assistance to rebuild, plus a temporary mobile home or RV to live in.
Sterling is one of many many thousands of people who are waiting on disaster assistance to repair and or rebuild their home, or in his case, start from scratch because everything was lost. See more, this Wednesday, on @CBSMornings.
They proceeded to move into their tent but the bugs we’re horrendous in the tent. Let me tell you, I grew up in Louisiana and these bayou bugs are next level nuts. Sterling and his daughter ended up going from the tent back to the truck where they are sleeping tonight.
Many people have asked how they can help Sterling.
