Christmas Day Fire

Donation protected
On Christmas morning, my family and I were eagerly awaiting the joy of watching my little brother unwrap his Santa's presents. However, our day took a devastating turn when a strong smell of smoke woke us from our beds. Frantically, we realized there was a fire, and we had to quickly wake up the rest of the family who was visiting for the holidays. With only moments to spare, we fled the apartment, and within minutes, everything we held dear was engulfed in flames. 

I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the compassionate couple who, while passing by, noticed the fire and took it upon themselves to alert everyone in the apartments. Their selfless actions restored our faith in the goodness of humanity. I shudder to think about what might have happened if they hadn't intervened. 

We had made a home in those apartments for years, and it's truly heart-wrenching to see everything we worked for reduced to ashes, especially since we did not have insurance to cover our losses. 

We've created this GoFundMe to seek support in covering the expenses caused by this catastrophic event, as we have lost everything and must now begin anew. 

We are deeply grateful for all the prayers and positive energy that have been sent our way, and we thank each and every one of you for your support.
