Brian and Caitlin Roehrig House Fire Fund
Donation protected
As some of you may know, we are asking for extensive prayers in the coming months. We had a house fire late Sunday night that burned 75% of our home and trashed the other 25% with smoke/water damage. Everyone got out timely and is in good health, including our dog Izzy.
Without getting into all details, we saw a glow and flames behind the wall/ceiling of the fireplace. We immediately called 9-1-1 and evacuated the kids and Izzy. The damage is pretty extensive, and it's unclear yet as to what is salvagable and what is a complete loss. More probably lost than saved. The fire claimed the family room, garage, attic, kitchen, and dining room, as well as catching our Trail Blazer on fire. The smoke/water claimed the rest. Our Captiva looks repairable, pending inspection.
First and foremost, we want to thank the emergency response teams for all their hard work and bravery. Their efforts stopped the fire from consuming the entire house (which looked probable at one point in the night). Secondly, we want to thank everyone who has already reached out to us and who will reach out to us in the future. It has truly been a blessing of support during one of the darkest times in our lives.
At this point, we are overwhelmed with the donations that have been flooding in, and cannot thank you all enough. Red Cross has offered their support in the immediate time following the fire, our neighbors and families offered tremendous support, and our friends have continued to be of great assistance to our family. Any and all contributions are so greatly appreciated. God truly blessed us with the right support staff in our lives.
