Help Ginga & Her Girls Rebuild After a House Fire
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Ginga and I'm asking for help recovering from a house fire we suffered from this summer. On June 21st, Amara and I were home cooking dinner and enjoying the beauty of summer on the porch when I heard the smoke alarm going off upstairs, I ran to go check and was faced with a wall of black smoke as I headed up the stairs and a crescendo of crackling and burning sounds. The fire department said that the fire started in the middle of Ziyah's floor, and though they suspect is was a faulty battery from an electronic device, they couldn't confirm the exact source of the fire. Thankfully, the house is repairable, however, we lost everything to the fire and smoke damage, and we are not able to live there till it is repaired, which could be for quite some time. Here it is almost September, and I'm still working with the insurance company to get what is needed from them to repair our home...so recovery is slow. Thankfully some wonderful friends who have become family, have given me and the girls a temporary home, and we are safe, but our insurance does not cover the cost of temporary lodgings while we recover, or the loss of personal belongings....I still have to cover the cost of maintaining our home while we start over. My business was also lost in the fire, so for me, income completely stopped for a couple months, and currently I'm on temporary medical leave from work for a pinched nerve, hoping to be able to return in a week or two (I was given a job at the Juice Pharm, so come say hi to me sometime!)...the trifecta of the tragedy, is that not long after the house fire, both my vehicles broke down; neither cost effectively repairable, and we are quite literally, starting all over. We really need help with funds to make sure I can cover the cost to keep my home while we are rebuilding, getting new belongings for the girls/myself, and help with getting a working vehicle again so we can get back on our feet after this huge knockdown and restart the universe is giving us. Please use my venmo for donations @ Ginga-Beleza, and Thank You So Much for your help and love. Ginga, Ziyah and Amara
