Hi! My name is Colleen Dorsla; My granddaughter, Kaliah, has several places she calls "home". One is with her other Grandma and Grandpa, Toni and Enrique Hernandez.

Last night, the house burnt down - the cause is still unknown.

The family of 7 has lost everything, even cell phones, IDs, clothing, beds, etc - all, unfortunately, without an insurance plan covering fires. Their dog of 15 years and cat passed away in the fire. I could not imagine any of this - and even though I know and am grateful, the people got out safely, I could not imagine losing my animals, my kids memories, diplomas, etc...all while I stood and watched and could not do anything. Three people lived in full-time in the home. However, 2 grandkids and 2 adult sons had things in the home - because, like Kaliah, this was home to many. Each of them lost part of themselves in it.

Everything is replaceable; they need to rebuild their house, find somewhere to live, get new clothes, etc...they need EVERYTHING.

At this time, since there is no place to put it, we are not accepting donations of items - but that will come when they figure out where they can live.

Help them rebuild their home, help them get the items they need that we take for granted till we don't have it anymore - phone, purse, etc.

Enrique and his sons have ALREADY been back to work today!
