Rebuilding After The Fire
Donation protected
Our family of 6 was woken up at 12:30am Friday morning to a fire. The abandoned neighbor house was completely engulfed in flames and ours was next. We escaped before the serious damage began, and watched as the firefighters put it out. It was finally over by 4am. However our journey is just beginning. We did a walk through and we're devastated . Although we are truly great full that our 4 babies, ourselves and our 2 pets are safe and sound we are saddened by the condition of our home. We acknowledge that it could have been much worse. We know many many people do have far worse experiences with fires. That's why we humbly come to our friends and family asking for any help. We can't afford to make our home livable again. Not any time soon. We would eventually have it ready to live in, however that would take some serious time. The damages are about $20,000 worth. My husband is able to do the work, but has a full time day job. Anything is a blessing. Thank you all.
