Total loss in fire, please help!

Donation protected

A family needs our help.

Hello, my name is Joshua.

Recently I lost everything in a house fire that destroyed my truck, home, and all of my belongings, and even nearly took my life.

I was trapped inside the burning building and narrowly escaped through a tiny basement window. Luckily I was able to tear out one of the panels and pull myself from the flaming wreckage. It was harrowing to say the least.

But this GoFundMe is not about me: it's about my neighbors.

The home was split into two families. I was living in the basement, and there was a family of 6 living upstairs: A married couple, their children, and their mother's all lived in the home.

It was a total loss. Everything they owned was completely destroyed in the fire.

While I was able to recoup some of my losses due to insurance, they were not so lucky. Unfortunately they did not have renter's insurance.  This means they are entirely on their own.

Anything you can give, no matter how small, would be a great help. If you are unable to donate, then sharing this story with your friends and family, and posting a link to Facebook for this GoFundMe campaign would be extremely helpful and deeply appreciated.

Any and all money that is donated will go directly to the family in need to help them replace their lost belongings and get their lives back together. This is to help them with the cost of replacing necessities, clothing, and any other lost belongings they need.

This fire disrupted all of our lives, but they have an entire family to look after.

Thank you everyone for anything you can do to help.
