Apartment Fire Aid

Before I returned home from visiting family for the holidays, I was made aware that a fire had broke out in my apartment complex. It wasn’t until A few hours later that I realized it was my building that had caught fire. Our apartment has suffered severe smoke damage as well as water damage causing us to throw out/replace many belongings for safety reasons. Cailley and I have been able to stay with family during this time, but we will have to move into a new apartment. Once we find a new place we will need help with the household items and furniture to replace what we had. Any donation would help and we would appreciate it so much if you could keep us as well as other displaced families from Griffith, IN in your prayers during this time! ———————— Here’s a piece of the news article: “An extra-alarm fire broke out early Sunday in Griffith, Indiana, leaving one firefighter injured and 32 families homeless right before the New Year. Griffith firefighters were called around 3:55 a.m. for the fire at 1740 Dylane Dr. The fire was quickly raised to a second alarm for more manpower and equipment. “I just remember waking us up at 4 o’clock in the morning, and all of a sudden, just big fire on the roof,” building resident Laura Fountain told CBS 2’s Steven Graves. “I’ve never seen nothing like it,” another woman said. “Just burning from the top.” Firefighters worked for about three hours to put out the fire, according to Deputy Fire Chief Don Hill. A total of 10 area fire departments provided assistance. In all, 32 families were displaced, the fire department said. Both property manager Bayshore Properties and the American Red Cross were working together to find housing for the affected residents. In daylight after the fire, residents were left with the unthinkable task of clearing out their homes – lugging out electronics and clothes stuffed in trash bags.” -CBS Chicago
