Please help family after house fire.

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Janiece, I am trying to raise funds to help my mother, stepdad, and brother. Their home was just destroyed in a fire. They only have mortgage insurance, which will pay off the mortgage but will not cover their personal losses. Due to strokes, a broken wrist, a broken hip and then a hip replacement all within the last year, my mother is mostly confined to a wheelchair. Also, within this past year, my stepdad has been in and out of the hospital for one leg amputation and is only one week out of rehab after the second leg was partially amputated. He is also wheelchair-bound. My brother lives with them as their caregiver and was thankfully able to get them both out safely, suffering mild smoke inhalation himself in doing so. The first organization to help only offered immediate assistance and only covers a few days of aid. They are currently in a motel with limited funds. While they are trying to find other avenues to assist in finding a more reasonable and permanent place to stay, these take much longer and we are unsure where they will go when their funds run out in a few days. The immediate concern is finding new housing and replacing clothing and personal items. Once settled they will also need to replace their necessities, furniture and appliances. Thank you for any help that you can offer, anything will be greatly appreciated!
