Christmas Day Fire Destroys Family Home
Donation protected
We are fundraising for Dwayne Smythe who lost his home to a chimney fire on Christmas evening.
Dwayne is a single father to two girls and works hard to support his family as an over the road truck driver. He was thrilled to be able to spend 10 straight days at home over Christmas with his girls and mother. There was a cold snap in Florida and they built a fire in the fireplace which soon overtook the home; destroying everything by flames, water, and smoke. What was supposed to be a wonderful time spent with each other quickly turned into a disaster. Thankfully, everyone was able to get out of the home unharmed and a neighbor was gracious to step in for shelter and other immediate needs on Christmas Night and the day after.
The family needs funds to help pay for necessities (clothes, blankets, food, possible hotel stay, etc...) and whatever insurance will not cover for their home to rebuild. If you would like to donate, I know the family would be extremely grateful to you.
With Love,
Jessie and Marcie
