Home and belongings lost in fire

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Cherie and I am fundraising for my father, Robert Marin. My dad lost his home and everything in it in a fire on 4/1/22. At around 1am, my family and I were woken up by neighbors about a fire in the back house of our property. The fire spread rapidly and before crews could put it out, it completely engulfed one house and spread to my dads as well. He was lucky to get out with only the clothes and shoes he rushed to put on and he was unable to go back into his home for anything else. The fire destroyed the back of his home as well as the attic throughout the home, to the front. I would appreciate any help with food, clothing and also living expenses as the house has been deemed unsafe to enter. We don’t know how long it will take for his home to be livable again, it could be 8months to a year at least, but I ask that if you’re able to donate anything, please do. My father is a good man who is currently on hospice at home due to a terminal illness and he unfortunately lost everything due to the carelessness of a drug addict neighbor and our family is devastated. We would like to thank you for your time and kindness. May we be blessed in a time of darkness..
