Hi we are the ElKady family

unfortunately we had a house fire 1/24/22 thankfully the fire was contained to one area but there is massive amounts of soot throughout our whole home. We are needing to evacuate our home until further notice. We are leaving with very limited items as everything is covered in thick black soot. We will be needing new kitchen appliances. We need help getting back to normal and making our house a home again. We are asking for support from our family and friends.

UPDATE 1/26
We were able to get in to clean up some things today. We lost most of our shelf stable foods; cereal, cake mixes, nuts/seeds, baby/kid snacks ect, all of our baking wear, more kitchen appliances, pots/pans and so much more. 
UPDATE 1/28 
Professional cleaners will be coming in today and hopefully after that we can stay at home again!! Unfortunately everything in the kitchen and some of the living room and hall way is too badly damaged to be cleaned/fixed and just needs to be replaced. This process can take months so at some point when they begin we will be relocated back to a hotel. 

UPDATE 1/30 
We have been able to sleep at home again. Cleaners left industrial air purifiers for us to run 24/7. Dishwasher stopped working today due to smoke damage…. What’s next?
Cleaners will be coming back tomorrow to start cleaning kitchen and dining room. 

 

For those asking what they can do to help;
Specific items we lost in the fire have been added to an Amazon list link is below.

Gift cards for Amazon/shoprite/target/bed bath and beyond to help replace items would be extremely helpful.
