Failed CC due to life circumstances, applying to a state school?

Hi, I failed some online classes in a CC because I was kicked out of my house on very short notice, had to move, and couldn’t use the internet in a shelter. That transcript has a 1.80 GPA, and I’m trying to apply to Colorado State. I wanted to appeal those grades and have them changed to W’s before I applied, but I’m running out of time. These classes were major-specific and I’m not interested in pursuing that major anymore.
My SAT score is also good. Basically, is it worth the time to petition to get the F’s changed to W’s, and how much could these grades hurt me if I just submit it as-is and explain what happened? Would I still have a chance on getting in?
