Hi, I am 8 months pregnant and I am a mother of a 1 year old baby and a 2 year old girl. Our home caught on fire August 25th at 4:00am.

I woke up to a strong thick burning smell. I couldn’t see anything but a thick cloud of smoke, I rubbed my eyes thinking I was dreaming but it was real. I screamed “The house is on fire!” My husband quickly got up and opened the door of our room there was flames and a black cloud of smoke coming from our hallway closet. My husband ran outside and as he came through the tall flames, he screamed “Get the girls and get out!”. I ran in the room got my phone and carried both my girls in my arms. But I couldn’t walk out, all I could see were scary tall flames. Realizing I wasn’t even wearing shoes! I can truly say God hugged us and walked us through fire and no one was hurt. I don’t know how we did it , but I walked with both my girls through fire while my husband was the holding the waterholes trying to stop the fire . My girls didn’t know what was going on and we were just so devastated and scared. I finally walked out and saw reality. Starring back at white and black smoke surrounding the entire house. I quickly called 911 and they came within 15 mins. My husband got minor burns and I had pain in my upper belly so we went to the ER. They checked my babyboy and he is doing well and so am I. I can’t believe I am here , alive with both of my girls and husband . I passed through fire and nothing happened to us. God has been so faithful and has truly held my hand . My home , my sweet home . My heart hurts. So many memories. There’s a lot of restoration that needs to be done, and all the walls must be knocked down. Even though I have cried so much because I will miss my old home and my girls favorite toys, clothes and memorable belongings are trapped in a home that is penetrated with toxic burnt odor. I am completely thankful to my God that my girls and I are alive and breathing and husband is with me . God is faithful and his love is everlasting. Our nightmare is over. We are staying somewhere for a couple of days till we try to see what we can do . I want to thank so many people have reached out that I haven’t spoke to in years. Thank you for the sweet and encouraging words. We have been overwhelmingly tired and in shock. If you wish to help, We would appreciate any help that we can get. We are basically starting from zero. Our house remains standing but we have lost most of our belongings including baby’s cribs, toys, kitchen utensils, baby essentials like baby bottles, diapers, clothes and blankets and the list could go on.. we are grateful with any donation offered. Thank you and may God bless you!
