The roof leaked and a pantry and closet were removed in mobile home. There is extensive water damage and holes where the ceiling has disintegrated. How should i go about fixing this on a VERY limited budget? The damaged area is about 3'x 10'.

What is the remaining ceiling made from? Could you add a few pictures to show us what you are dealing with. I am sure it can be repaired but it's hard to tell you how to do it without seeing the damage. Thanks!

Check around for a mobile home discount salvage for mobile homes. You might be able to pick up a replacement panel inexpensively.
In Oregon if you are low income (qualify for food stamps) you can qualify for free home repairs. If you have a food bank in your area give them a call and see if they know of anything to help.
If that doesn't work call the Salvation Army.
I guess you aren't replacing the pantry or closet? If not, I would take a piece of the ceiling tile to Lowe's or Home Depot to match it. It is a fairly small area, so shouldn't cost too much. Good luck and stay safe!
Hello there,
Remove all wet and damaged panels and replace with new. There really isn't a cheap quick fix, sorry!
