Help a Family of 3 Rebuild After Tragic Fire

Donation protected
We lost our house to a tragic fire, my father was at work at the time and my brother was sick the day before, no one was/is able to watch him so I stayed home to watch him. As his big sister I put my younger brother to sleep because he left his phone at school so he was in trouble, he woke up hours later and decided to make food. He said he had put food in the microwave and accidentally left a metal fork in there, I was in my room so I didn’t know what actually happened. My brother who is 7 said he tried to put it in the trash when it was on fire. I smelt smoke when I was going to sleep and I got up and the whole house was already smoky and tried my best and hardest to keep the fire out, I did but I put the object that was on fire outside, but I got fire on the covers while trying to put the object that was on fire outside. My brothers bed is in the living room. I tried so hard to put water or something liquid because I wasn’t sure what to do so I poured as much water but it was alive and spreading, I gave up when i was able to see through the fire I seen it lit the wood that was holding the mattress so I grabbed a kitten that was running in the house but wasn’t able to grab my 2 adult cats and dog, I grabbed a speaker and headphones but nothing else because i was scared. I grabbed my brother and called 911, while running down the street our house blew up with so much smoke because of the propane tank next to our house. We are now staying at a hotel but don’t have money to keep paying for one and I’m 15 F trying to be a model but don’t have help from anyone in this situation or any at any fact. We are a family of 3 and trying to survive off this tragic situation. Thank you for taking time and reading our traumatizing story that happened to us.
