Last night at 2:00 am my moms house caught on fire with my brother and his friend inside, along with 7 animals. Unfortunately, the dogs and 2 cats did not make it out of the home. Luckily, my step dad was able to get out my 11 year old brother and friend out just in time before an explosion. They lost everything. Their home is gone, shoes, clothes, and all belongings. 

The story behind the fire: 

My mom had purchased a (defective) keroseneheater from Lowe’s. It began leaking causing a small fire which had spread very quickly resulting in a explosion. 

Anything helps. Thank you, and god bless.
