Apartment Fire Recovery.

On January 15th, 2019, a fire started in the kitchen of our apartment. Jay and I were home at the time, but by the time we discovered the fire it was too big for us to put out on our own, and growing quickly. Jay took his dog Rocky to the community’s office to inform them while I called 911 and evacuated our neighbors. I was hospitalized briefly for smoke inhalation but otherwise, we are all physically well. Our kitchen is destroyed, while our belongings and apartment are filled with smoke and ash. Our apartment will not be livable for over a month and while Red Cross has been amazing I’ve had many people offer to help and we’re at the point where we will gratefully accept anything you can give. We are out almost all of our clothing until further notice, and we were financially struggling before this even happened. The goal does not matter in the end, we appreciate absolutely anything. We are staying in a hotel for tonight and making further arrangements with our complex soon. Thank you so much for all your well wishes and concern, we appreciate it.
