I've looked into the state & federal programs-there's nothing I qualify for
or that is available.
Looking for someone who can donate time to do or help do repairs.
Even someone who has knowledge of how things should be done, would be helpful.
(Most of repairs not incredibly difficult, but do require someone who has done this
stuff before)
I need some stucco repaired, drywall in one room, some damaged wood replaced,
some holes dug for replacement fence posts and some assistance repairing the fence.
Also need to replace some window cranks for according windows.
And need some plywood cut to cover windows in case of future hurricane.
(I have plywood-I'm just not able to cut it)
I could probably pay something, but not allot.
I have misc items that could be used for trade: golf clubs & bag ,
bowling balls, several clothes dryers that need minor repairs, misc garage stuff.

It sounds like you have exhausted the normal governmental agencies that take care of disaster victims. It also sounds like you live in your own house. What about your homeowner's insurance agent? They can usually recommend or work with a contractor, even on small jobs.
In the end, your best bet might be a local church, or your own church if you are a member. It seems like several people might be able to take care of all of your problems in a half a day. Many church groups do this type of community work.
I hope this helps and I wish you good luck.

Boy scouts often have community projects.
Large home supply companies like community advertising buy helping out their neighborhoods.
Television stations, radio, etc may be interested from a news point of view.
Advertise on bulletin boards for others with similar dilemmas and you could all pool your resources to fix up everyone.
If you actively keep seeking an answer, help will arrive.
How about placing a sign at the end of your driveway. Maybe your own neighbors would help just to improve the area?

There may be something, but after Katrina all the rules have changed. Im not a carpenter but the plywood is easy (I cant believe theres no one to help u!) An "L" or square, a pencil and a tape measure followed by either a jig-saw or skill-saw will do that

If you are low income you may try to contact "habitat for humanity" perhaps they can help you. Good luck.
