For a family who lost everything
Donation protected
This is my family, and this is what happened;
On November 21 2014 (Friday) a very unexpected fatal fire broke out in my husband's family's (MY family) 67 yr grandmothers house. Our grandmother and cousin (Melissa) was in the house when it caught fire; they we're napping. Both made it out, but not safely. Melissa tried to get our grandmother out of the house , but fire fighters finally managed to get her out. Melissa and Laraine (our grandmother) was rushed to Cooper trauma center and hospital. Both with severe smoke inhalation; Laranie with burns on her back and hands from when fire officials pulled her out of the house. Aunt Christine (aunt Frissy), her boyfriend John, and Melissa's two young kids (Alexis-7 Anthony-5) lived in the house. Christine and John were both working at the time the fire broke out and both kids were at school. 3 dogs perished in the fire, the cat managed to get out. Laranie (our grandmother) is not going to make it. Melissa will be fine. They lost everything. No clothes, but the clothes on their backs, no home, the kids lost everything as well. No toys, no clothes, everything perished. The only things that fire officials were able to identify was a drill gun and a screwdriver found in the basement. Some things in that house can't be replaced, like our grandmother's mother's (grandmom peaches) (our great grandmom) and pop pop Ben's ashes. Everything is gone, pictures, ashes, clothes, toys, EVERYTHING! I know this isn't the best time to ask for donations considering the holidays are coming up, but this family, MY family, needs all the help we can get. Anything helps, even $1.00 or .50 cents, anything. These kids have NO idea what happened, with their mother, their house, their belongings, or with their grandmother. They have NOTHING but a few outfits their school sent home with them because of this tragedy. Everyone deserves a Christmas, even if it's one toy for each of them under the tree. Anything, I mean anything helps! If you don't want to send money, donate or give a toy to these kids, clothes, anything. They are both a size 7 in clothes, and they will be happy with any toy given to them. If you would like to send or drop off a toy or clothes, personally message me, or someone in our family and we will be happy to tell you our address to drop off. It's the holiday season, and I know most of you don't have much money during this time because of the holiday season but really anything helps. Anything.
