Couple in Need of Help After Fire

Donation protected
I'm reaching out to the community in hopes to help my brother Richard Cameron & his fiance Amanda Briest in their time of need. They & another family experienced a tragic house fire early yesterday morning around 4:30. Five children never made it out. Amanda's daughter Kaylia was at her father's house at the time of the fire & for that we are thankful but feel so terribly sad for the loss of the children & their families. We are thankful Richard & Amanda made it out when they woke up there was fire in their bedroom '& they struggled to get out. This house they just recently rented never had fire alarms. Amanda is expecting a baby and is due May 17. My brother and Amamda had everything ready for baby Wonda to be born but sadly they have lost everything they owned in the fire. They lost the crib, the car seat, all of their clothes, beloved pets, wedding rings, wedding dress, glasses and so much more. They are left without a car due to loss of keys in the fire. The money raised will go to feeding and clothing them throughout this time as well as getting new keys made, fixing up the headlights of the cars that got melted, getting them new drivers licenses and any other lost documents from the fire, getting their daughters more toys/clothes but most importantly preparing for the new baby to be here. They are extremely shook up from this tragic experience & I hope they should not have to return to work until they are ready. My brother is now on crutches & cannot do much. 
Richard and others tried so hard to help the children inside the house. My brother experienced 3rd degree burns and was taken to the hospital unfortunately he did not have health insurance. Amanda & the baby are fine and made it out without any burns, but I am extremely worried she might go into labor early, due to all this stress. Anything helps these two in their time of need. I have no doubt someday they will find ways to help this community in the way they have helped them. Thank you so much everyone!!
