A massive live oak tree fell on a home in Mobile, Alabama, causing significant damage to the structure and a vehicle. The homeowner, DeNorris Lee, who had suffered a stroke and is on disability, did not have homeowners insurance due to financial constraints.

Despite the lack of insurance coverage, local tree care professionals collaborated to remove most of the tree using specialized equipment, demonstrating community support in the aftermath.

With damaged property and limited resources, the homeowner has turned to crowdfunding to seek financial assistance for repairs. This case underscores the importance of considering insurance options and community networks in managing risk and recovery after property damage incidents.
