Our family’s house caught on fire
On October 1st, our family’s house of 21 years caught fire due to the negligence of our next door neighbor. The fire from our neighbors house quickly spread to the side of our house catching the attic and insulation faster than we had thought. Our house caught fire four different times that day, the first one at about 12:30 in the afternoon and the last fire being at 11pm. With the amount of fires and the amount of water needed to put those fires out, not very much in our house is going to be recoverable. The house may still be standing but due to the fire catching in the attic, it really did take the entire inside of the house with it.
In the house lives my grandparents and four others. They lost everything and are now having to start fresh but it is definitely not easy. Never did we think something like this would happen to us and unfortunately we were not prepared either. As of right now, my family is living in a hotel and we soon hope to find a rental until we are able to rebuild our house. It has been very strenuous lately but of course we are pushing forwarding and reminding ourselves that better things are to come.
We’ve decided to start a gofundme in order to begin replacing some of the things we had. The most important things right now being medication, clothing and hygiene. If you are able to share or donate, we would very much appreciate it. Thank you to all of those who reached out and sent positive thoughts our way.
Thank you again!
