Fire Victims

Our names are Renee King and Sarah Burks

Saturday April 2nd, we got a phone call from our little sister Amanda Draper stating my house is on fire I need your help! It was my niece's birthday, and this is how the day began.

Not the phone call you want to get on your niece's 9th birthday.....

This weekend the enemy came prowling. Their brand new home rental part of her breakthrough was lit on fire sporadically. My sister was preparing for my niece's birthday, joyfully wrapping her presents. This was the first year they were going to have her birthday party in their home.

She heard a loud pop and went running upstairs to find smoke consuming their home. She runs up to wake everyone up by the time they get downstairs; they are suffocating in smoke n run outside on the phone with 911. Their house began to spit out flames. She instantly calls me sobbing.. My house is on fire. I remind her Amanda you are on your breakthrough season n. The enemy doesn't like it but stand with God n he will win. Your his child.

I get on the road immediately and get a phone call partway there Renee you will never believe it.

Lennyn, my 7 year old niece, was upset because her Bible was in the drawer right below where the fire began. Lennyn has faith like no other. They got the fire contained. They looked for her Bible. They came upon the drawer. Everything else was ruined. There lay my faith-filled niece's bible untouched. How you know God was fighting the enemy is he contained the fire to this area. There of course, is soot, smoke n water damage from it seeping out, but God did not allow the flames to spread out of this area.

My family needs your help!
As the house was thankfully not a complete loss. All of their items are Soot, smoke, and water damaged. They will not be able to get into their home for months until it is rebuilt. They have two young girls, Skylar and Lennyn (9&7). They began getting items out of the house yesterday to try to air out......

Due to them renting home. To help cover the cost of all the material things, we are asking for any help! They will have to pay to live somewhere else temporarily out of their own pockets for months as their home is restored... They will have to get some new clothing, appliances, furniture due to damage, food etc. etc. . At this time, it will be hard to navigate if you wish to donate items/things as they are trying to position and find somewhere else to stay until the home is restored. They are, of course, accepted but please contact us and allow time to figure out where to take the items.
