Family Displaced By Apartment Fire

Donation protected

My name is Brittany Sylvia. On the morning of December 29, 2016 my family's apartment at 161 Shawmut St in Fall River, MA went up in flames. The fire was suspected to be started by an electric space heater in the second floor apartment. My family lived on the third floor. My mother Christina Sylvia, her wife Courtney Beliveau, my brother Timmy Sylvia who is autistic, my 10 month old son Bennett, and our 2 cats all lived there together. Luckily, everyone in the apartments were able to escape safely. My infant sons room with all his toys was completely destroyed. All our clothes and everything else smells like smoke. We can not move back in. We are looking for any help anyone can offer to raise money to move into a new apartment and to hopefully also replace as many things that we lost as we can as well as possible vet fees for our cats for smoke inhalation. This fire came just days after Christmas and a day before my brother's wedding. My family is strong we are holding it together and supporting each other. Anyone who knows us knows we wouldnt be asking for this kind of help unless we needed it. We appreciate everyone who has reached out a helping hand to us already and are forever grateful for all of your kind hearts and words.
Love,
The Sylvia Family
