Our family is going through one of the hardest moments of our lives after a devastating apartment fire in Dunellen, New Jersey.

The fire destroyed our building and the roof collapsed, leaving us suddenly without a home and most of our belongings. Our household includes myself, my fiancé, our four children (two 12-year-olds a 9 year old and an 8-month-old baby), and our two dogs.

We were forced to leave with only what we could carry and are currently staying in a hotel while we try to figure out our next steps.

We are incredibly grateful that everyone made it out safely, including our dogs who are a big part of our family. However, starting over has been overwhelming and we lost many of the basic things we rely on every day.

We are asking for help to get through this difficult time. Donations will help with temporary housing, food, clothing, diapers and baby supplies, replacing essential items, and helping our family get back on our feet after this unexpected disaster.

Any support, donations, or shares mean more to us than words can express. Thank you for helping our family during this incredibly difficult time.
