“I’m afraid I’m not going to find the funding to fix her. I’m not gonna lie. There’s funding out there but I don’t know if I’m gonna get any or how much I’m gonna get,” Missy Johnson from Lakeview said.

FEMA is expected to come later this morning, News Center 7 will be there when they do to discuss the timeline of their work.
