Fire Took Chris's Home and Beloved Cat

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Tommy Craig, and for most of you that know me, you know that all of my family (parents, brothers, kids) are back home in Memphis. My brother Chris, whom I am closer to than just about anyone, lost his house in a fire on New Year's Eve. They think someone set off fireworks, and one landed on his carport and sparked something. Luckily, someone saw the smoke and flames, started beating on his window, and woke him up. Bad back and all, he woke everyone up and got them out through his bedroom window. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to find their cat, so he didn’t make it. If you know him, then you know he would do anything to help anyone, so I’m trying to help repay some of that to him now. He hasn’t been able to work since 2014 when, after numerous back surgeries, the doctors put him on disability. So that is the only income stream he has for the most part. He has his 17-year-old daughter living with him and both of our parents, of which our dad is not in the best of health either. As of now, he’s not sure what insurance will cover, but he also lost his truck because it was parked under the carport and caught fire. Anything you can give, even one dollar, will help replace clothes, dishes, appliances, and whatever else they come across that they need. Thank you.
