Fire Left Us With Nothing: Please Assist
Donation protected
My name is Joseph Quintana, and today, my family’s home was tragically destroyed in a fire caused by an electrical issue. While the landlord has been notified, we unfortunately didn’t have renter’s insurance to cover our losses.
I live with my wife, our 4-year-old daughter, and our 11-month-old son. My parents also live with us, and my mom depends on oxygen support 24/7. We’ve lost everything—clothes, food, blankets, and other belongings. When we escaped, my daughter was only in a diaper, and we couldn’t grab clothes for her or formula and bottles for my son.
Our car, parked next to the house, also melted partially in the fire, leaving us without reliable transportation. Despite this overwhelming loss, I’m incredibly thankful that we all made it out safely. My in-laws have graciously taken us in for now, but we’re facing significant challenges ahead.
As the sole provider for my family, I need to figure out how to get to work, provide for my family, and start the process of rebuilding our lives. We’re humbly asking for any help you can offer—whether it’s prayers, donations, or simply sharing our story. Your kindness and support mean everything to us during this difficult time. Thank you.
