Apartment Fire Recovery
Donation protected
We've suffered a terrible loss. ON the 4th of July we returned home to our apartment and found firetrucks everywhere and yellow tape around our building... It caught on fire a few hours before we got there..
Most of our belongings are unsalvageable... But that's not what mattered to us
Our beautiful cats sierra and Anna were at home. We found out sierra was the only cat to make it out of the building, she was at an emergency vet. We did not know where Anna was and we're not permitted to look for her in the unit.
Sierra suffered too much smoke inhalation, and my beautiful baby passed away early this morning from respiratory arrest. We miss her very much..
After taking my baby to be cremated we decided to enter the unit to find Anna's body, despite the caution tape.
As we entered, I went to look under the couch, sure she would be there dead..
Remarkably we heard a weak meow and she was untouched under the couch
She did take some smoke inhalation so she is not quite out of the woods yet.
Our apartment is a total loss.. everything is gone, but we have our Anna and we are trying to stay strong.
Our apartment complex is trying to place us in a new unit, but it is smaller, and won't be ready until the 12th. Until then we don't have the funds for a hotel, and we need help immediatley. We both have no clothes for work, Sonia needs ABU's and I need scrubs and shoes.
We will be using anything raised for the time between now and move in, and anything additional towards vet bills and replacing essentials in our home, as our loss exceeds the coverage our insurance allows for, Anything helps, and sharing would help as well.
If you are in the area and have spare household items, that would be greatly appreciated when we move in...
Thank you..
