Hello, my name is Constance, and I am a mother of 9 in total, but 3 are adults now. I work 60 hours a week to provide for us, but on Sunday, as I was leaving my job, I received a frantic call from my oldest child still at home that the microwave was on fire. I told her to just get her and her three siblings out and raced home to firefighters working hard to get the fire and smoke cleared. My children were with medics so they wouldn’t be in the cold. We have been in this home for 7 years; it was terrifying, to say the least. I don’t like to ask for help, and I try to do everything I can myself. I made the mistake of letting my renter's insurance lapse (I have it now, but it started AFTER the fire). Unfortunately, they have condemned our home until repairs are made, and I’m not sure how long that will be, so I am trying to get assistance with moving and at the minimum replacing our beds. Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
