I want to thank everyone in advance for taking the time to read this go fund me. It has been a whirlwind of a few weeks. The family and I have been beside ourselves, devastated and lost for words.. truly rock bottom. Weeks ago in the early morning my brothers/young nieces/furbabies home caught fire. The fire engulfed their living space quite rapidly and wrecked havoc on their world and its entirety . My brother, niece and our family furbaby are all alive which is the number one blessing and what we hold onto(of course) we are so thankful every moment/daily. However the devastation, total loss, damage and heartbreak... health issues as a result of the smoke and soot and emotional/mentally stress of this disaster have done a number on all involved. A fire is everyones worst nightmare come true. The mental and emotional anguish, the physical exhaustion of survival , trauma and displacement, as a result. The aftermath has been shocking.. climbing back out of the ashes ( so to speak, has taken a major toll on all). What the fire did not damage, the soot/ smoke definitely did. The soot is out of this world, water damage also tremendous.

This awful situation could of happened to anyone.. The home looks like a war zone. Its truly Gut wrenching! To add baking soda to vinegar..the property management has been a handful & had changed the locks on us all for weeks after years of being loyal occupants (not legal) we had to take legal action to even enter/acess to try and separate or save anything salvaged! Imagine everything that you worked hard for gone in the blink of an eye, all memories/ memorabilia poof gone.. the security / comfort of your own home and shelterover your head...bye bye! Life is so precious and every breath we take with loved ones is paramount. As long as life has been sparred there is a shot at starting over... this is the light within the darkness. But when its smokey and cloudy its hard to see ahead ( no pun intended).

My family has been displaced, suffering and truly beside themselves. Out of pocket costs are mounting high and the damage estimate literally unfathomable. We are all striving to maintain and hold one another afloat (in all ways) but we are sinking in some respects. We are a strong family but need help! There is only minimal money and credit options at this stagr of life and as many of you know, there are several major family struggles this past many years ..so this hit so hard. After the craze of the pandemic, job loss, health issues ,costs of living rising etc... people arent as stable as they once were in time. The cost of living is up for us all... everything adds up when you are literally at zero. It has been hard to gather strength and thought process but we maintain through resiliencey, love, strength .

To those asking; there was NO contents insurance as it was in between polices. There is no help at all... other than us all banding together with faith, strength,love, gogogo approach and community spirit, family/ friend support. This situation is heartbreaking and everything is mounting ..the pressure is on, in more ways then one! Trying to keep the family sane and hold down life is a challenge, but something my family excells with. The Never falter view in life.

We have thought long and hard about the decision to post a go fund me. But its the right thing to do.. and its entire genuine purpose. If people can't be there for one another , especially at times such as these...then whats the point? Humanity, compassion, kindness & love are everything. This type of energy is what makes our world a better place, as humankind should always stick together. ( when able)

We have been such a foundational family support system to so many/ all walks of life..for as long as I can remember. We have embraced others thru guidance, care, elevation, inspiration, struggling, adversity...ups/downs . We have provided sheltor, money, peace, protection, shelter...you name it.

Helping/inspiring in the community

/paying it forward is what we were taught. We have been givers,supporters,healers.. full of empathy! And why? Because we wanted to... Why? Cause life is better for all when you do so. No one owes us a thing but we are truly and wholeheartedly humble... and need you all. So I take this time to ask anyone and everyone who wants to help to give back now..this support/gesture would impact us in a major/postive way & help tremendously to heal and move forward. We dont know how to ask or where to begin, as this is the reverse of how we have survived.. however..in life, the tables can and have turned! We are extending a hand and gracefully bending a knee in faith to reach out to our community..family/friends/coworkers etc. Any donation or gift adds up and contributes to the end result of getting back on ines feet. The amount of Daily Coffee money would be a blessing. There is no amount that is silly or small....We have no expectations whatsoever.

If you can help and or find it in your heart to help...we thank you in advance & are forever grateful for your generosity, kindness and consideration. If you can't contribute and are struggling... no pressure, thats ok too. We love you! Please keep us in your daily thoughts/prayers (whatever your belief system is).

This past many years has taken a beating on us all (in life) and this situation has left us totally torn.... but er focus on all of the positive aspects..and you are all up on our blessings list. We will repair and rise up.. with your help, assistance and love! In advance..we are forever grateful to you all!

Ps; my brother Bobby's whole world is his daughter Mattea, his furbaby Boscoe and his family. This tragedy has shown his true testament on life and being an amazing father. He has bounced up and has tried to maintain despite this horrible tragedy. His willingness to be ontop of all things for the sake of his child and family and inner health etc..to stand up despite this devastation which is incredible.. his gogogo approach from morning to night and non stop drive and ambitious attitude to heal/ fix/restore , salvage and maintain is truly commendable. I applaud him for it all and console him for having to even go through something of this magnitude in the first place. We are so happy everyone is alive...

Our furbaby Boscoe is also a hero in this story ...things would of turned out differently if he was not present that morning. Everything happens for a reason... thank you Boscoe, forever indebted to you for your unconditional love, loyalty and helping save Bobby. I am

so proud to call Bobby my brother and so fortunate to have my niece Mattea in my world. Your calming innocent energy , courage, bravery and fighting spirit are everything. We love you all..so so much..we are here for you in any way we can be, each and everyone of us! This too shall pass. Keep positive energy! #finditinyourhearttohelp #reachoutifyoucan #gratitude #keeponefootinfrontoftheother#onelove #blesslightlove

On behalf of us all... WE THANK YOU!
