Fire disaster.. everything gone.

I don’t even know where to begin.. I never thought I would ever have to make one of these.

On July 13, 2019 around 3 p.m. my kids and myself were at home relaxing enjoying our time with our new kitten, when my son took our dog outside to use the bathroom he noticed there was smoke coming from the side of our house, I first thought oh.. it’s just smoke from the air from a fire somewhere but as I went outside I seen a lot of smoke and part of our roof falling to the ground. I immediately ran inside and told my dad and he ran outside to try and put it out, I went to get my daughter and tried to get our kitten simba but he got so frightened with the noise he ran under my bed and I couldn’t get him.. as we all went outside I still felt I had to run back in and get him and by this time my sisters room was in complete flames and I heard windows shattering but I couldn’t let this little kitten go, but unfortunately the fire was growing fast within seconds I heard people yelling saying to get me out, my body literally froze and I looked threw out my room and cried myself out. Soon as I got out there was an explosion and the whole roof was on fire. Me and my kids walked out barefoot with nothing. Everything was gone. Everything that I worked hard for to provide for my kids and myself gone within seconds. After about 4-5 hours of bugging the fire fighters to try and find our kitten because they heard him crying but couldn’t find where he was, they found him! And he walked out with no scratches! And was breathing food! The vets were amazed that he was 100% fine! He also lost all his necessities. I’m beyond blessed that my kids and myself were able to get out just in time. I keep thinking what if’s but I have to move forward and begin this healing process. As of now, we are completely without anything. So I ask for my kids and myself with any help we can get. Thank you to all our neighbors for coming together and helping us with to overcome this tragic accident.
