Hi… I never thought Id be on here in this position. Im always the one donating to these and wishing others the best. Today Im here for my mom and dog.

Since I was 15 Ive been working… unknowingly working to eventually secure a life for my mom and I. Ive had to be independent because of the homelessness I had to experience from the ages of 15-19 and since that started ive been financially takin care of my mom and I and never really needed help. Im pleading with all of my being for any help I can get right now. The apartment that I worked so freaking hard for, the roof I put my mom and dog under, the place I finally got to call my home is gone. Its soot-covered and ash now. My childhood pictures, all of our memories we’ve been holding onto, all of our clothes and medicine are gone. Im thanking the universe only because I was unknowingly saving my family from that fire.

February first coming home from a night away, I was supposed to pay the rent and I called my mom to grab the dog and get ready so we can go on a ride together. Getting to bank I forgot my wallet and had to run back home which was only about five minutes away. On the way we saw the smoke… getting closer and closer we saw it was our complex. I just knew. I parked my car and ran from the opposite side of the complex to see my everything burst into flames. My hearing went out and I dont think Ive ever screamed so loud. My everything is gone. Money, pictures, meds, memorabilia from my dead family, clothes, food. Gone.

My apartment complex denied housing for my family as well as termination of my lease the day of the fire. They wouldn’t give me like any info and even though I saw some of my stuff still ok in the front of the house, they wont give me any access to any of my belongings and made their final decision that my things are unsalvageable. I saw my pictures still on the wall and I think they just threw it all away.

I had to beg the VP of Morgan Properties for respect and empathy!!

This is the front of the house the day after. The window to the left of the board is where everything was still standing and from what I saw pictures were still in there and clothes. But still denied anything.

I worked so hard to finally secure that apartment at 19 years old as well as my car. I finally got my license back after it being suspended from my medical condition LAST MONTH and now the world takes my home? how do i live anymore is my question.

I hate to say but I need help. I see people all the time help others online with shoes, cars, parties. We both have seizure conditions and we lost access to our medication for about a four day span. Which may sound ok but its not at all. Im pleading, begging with everything i have on me help me get a roof over my mom and dogs’ head please. And if you dont help me… help yourself and ensure you bless others with your heart.
