- Elder Corine Paulk is a member of the United Houma Nation in her 70s and the first employee of the Indian Education program in Terrebonne parish. Her home is not livable. Her homeowners insurance deductible is $3180 - she doesn’t have that. She and her granddaughter Courtney have started the claim with her insurance and is waiting. They have filed for FEMA but we have been denied (and appealing) due to having homeowners insurance.” CaSh App: $MommyMedic88 Venmo: @Courtney-Fitch-3
