I can't believe this is happening to my friend, Erica Farnsworth. The following are her words.

I want to let everyone know that the boys and I are okay. There was a fire on Monday night at the complex where I live. We were thankfully still awake and heard the blast that started the fire. I got the pups in the car and was able to drive it away, from under the carport. My neighbor, friend & customer, and her dog Coco got out in time. Unfortunately two of our other neighbors did not make it out. It is heartbreaking.

The Red Cross was there and they are wonderful and supportive people. We are currently in a hotel. Catching a feral dog in a panic has not set me forward in my progress with CT, but he has forgiven me for my not calm or delicate approach & we are all safe.

And to make things worse....

Dear friends, that have been wonderful to me, and who I think have asked about a go fund me, I don’t want to sound greedy, but I think I am at that point.

I came home this morning to open up my front door and air out my place which I’ve been given permission to do and found that I had been burglarized overnight. The items that they took are absolutely mind blowing and strange. They ripped my gun safe off the wall and just really tore the place apart.

I had a box with all of the thank you cards and tip money that my customers had given me over the past six or seven years and that was planning to be some of my back up support money, but they stole the entire box. Cards and cash.

Sentiment and security. I’m not sure what else to do.

So friends, it is time to show her that the world is not entirely evil. Thank you for helping. Sending you all love. XOXO - Kimberly
