<div>Hi, I am Javier. On Monday, August 24th, a fire broke out in my friend Dave's home, started by a wireless charger with a detachable lithium-ion power bank. In 20 minutes, it destroyed almost everything he  Now my three sons are split across three different temporary homes, and we need to get them under one roof again.owns.

</div>
<div>No one was hurt. But Dave and his family will not be able to live in their home for a full year while it is rebuilt.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our homeowner's insurance doesn't cover the full cost of rebuilding. We need help with immediate expenses: temporary housing for the boys, replacing essential furniture and clothing, and covering rent while we rebuild.
</div>
<div>Right now, Dave needs help with immediate expenses just to get through the wait. Here is a breakdown of how the funds will be used:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>First month of rent and damage deposit for a temporary rental: $3,500
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ongoing mortgage ($1,500) and utilities for his home
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Basic clothing for Dave and his three boys: $1,500
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Everyday necessities like toiletries, groceries, and school supplies: $1,000
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Temporary furniture, mattresses, and bedding: $2,000
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dave did find a place and moves in on October 1st, but they just had another setback. His ex-wife Becky's house flooded in the heavy rains and has severe water damage and mould. The boys cannot stay there, and Dave's current temporary spot is too small. Any help getting them through to October 1st is greatly appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any amount helps. Thank you for reading, and for anything you can give.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please do not leave a wireless charger or power bank charging unattended. This can happen to anyone.
