Family home lost in house fire
On April 19, 2021 around 3:15am my sweet 5 month old grandson continuously kicked and yelled at his uncle to wake him. When his uncle woke up he noticed a burning smell and sizzling sound coming from upstairs. He quickly discovered the front of our house was burning and gathered everyone. Our family lost the family home that has sheltered us and been in the family for generations, as well as our only vehicle. We escaped the fire unscathed, but it will take a village to help us bare the weight of this catastrophe. We made it out with only the clothes on our backs and no shoes on our feet. In addition, I am an immunocompromised dialysis patient with several chronic health conditions. All my medicines and medical equipment was in the house, as well as my daily medical supplies. The instability of not knowing where we will stay compromises my health condition due to me needing a sterile environment to do my dialysis.
My three children, two boys and one girl, lost all of their belongings. We literally lost everything we own. My daughter has a 5 month old son who was also affected by the fire. He does not have anymore diapers, bottles, or any other essential items that babies need.
We are asking the community, family, and friends to help anyway they can. All donations made will be used to assist us in getting the items we need for everyday living as well as to replace our home and vehicle. Our family has to start over from scratch. Any blessing will be greatly needed and appreciated. We thank you all in advance for assisting our family in this tough time.
