Explosion on New house a of family of 4

Hello, I'm a single mother of three sons and never thought our home would be gone so soon.  Never would I imagine that in less than 10 mins I would lose everything. I was a victim of a massive fire and explosion that was due to neglagence in an area that is supposed to be in the midst of positive change. I have nothing left but the clothes on my back but what hurts more is that everything I had for my children is now gone. I am a home owner who worked hard to show my sons the value of home ownership and what it means to love your community and be a great neighbor. I have fought for progress, change and unity for my community and in less than 10 mins it seemed like all that work went away. I thank you for taking the time to read my story and if nothing else, please help and be aware of your community and how you can be of service to the people around you. We are our neighbor's  keeper. If you find it in your heart to donate to my family I want to say Thank you for being a Blessing to us. If you cannot give, please promise to be a good neighbor and piller of your community.

Thank you and Be Blessed
