Help Val O'Day and Boys Rebuild!

Donation protected
Hello Friends and Family,

I am Val O'Day's nephew and I asking everyone to lend a helping hand and many prayers for my Aunt Val and her boys. Their house burned down on January 22 and they lost everything.  Everyone is alive and well and we are greatful for that. Prayers are wonderful but they need our help to build their life back as well. Anything helps such as: food, clothing, furniture, and money this would be greatly appreciated. As Val stated she lost her three 
precious furbabies in the fire. Her heart is broken beyond belief and would love for everyone to send a prayer for her furbabies. I would be greatfual for anyone who can help in any way and I know my family there would be greatful beyond words. Please help during these hard times! I've added two links from the local news station where you can see pictures and videos of the aftermath. You will see from these website how badly they need your help! 

Thank you

Timothy Abarca

Update From Val: Our house caught on fire late yesterday afternoon. That's how my furbabies died. Im so devastated thats all i could get out last night. Both boys are ok. Tucker is the only furbaby that survived. My house is a loss and we've lost everything but we still have each other. Malachi is having a real tough time with this.
Please don't forget about khalil who is at college. Thank you for your prayers.

Update FROM Val: I was there today. The upstairs is in bad shape. Malachi's bedroom is totally gutted. My room has fire, water, and heavy smoke damage. The bathroom is also very badly burned. The kitchen and living room are in bad shape from burned areas severe smoke and water damage. Ceilings are gone and roof burned and burned hrough in malachi's room. The basement faired better with smoke and water damage not sure what all.The ins is going to help me get ball going on house and to try to find a more permanent place for us to live for the time being. We are at a hotel for right now. We need lots but I don't have anywhere for ppl to drop off items and I don't know how long well be at hotel. Mostly just need the essentials food clothes shoes coats personal items etc things like that right now . The rest to come. Please reach out to the boys too. That'll help a lot too. I'm still trying to get this figured out. Thank you for all the prayers and offers to help us. It means so very much more than you can know. I'll keep you posted on our needs. Love you all. Plz pass on to others I'm not trying to forget ppl.
