Help a family of 8 with food and accommodation.
Donation protected
Hi everyone,
I am trying to raise fund for my family of 8 including 2 kids(A 2 year old and an 11month old baby), my mum and dad as well as my 2 siblings.. We were just in a house fire on 5/9, a day after my wedding anniversary. We were woken up by the fire alarm only for my husband and I to walk out of the room into a thick black smoke with no knowledge of where the fire is coming from. Devastated, I went back into the bedroom panicking and holding the kids trying to figure out a way out. I heard my sister yelling and telling us to use the back door with the kids because it had less smoke! Immediately, my husband rushed back into the room and grabbed us to evacuate the building. Blinded and choked by the smoke, we bumped into my dad in the hallway and Itold him we have to get out! We made our way out only to find out my sister was still trapped inside the house on the balcony with no way out due to the thickness of the smoke. My husband, barefoot had to rush to the back with a little ladder to get my sister off the balcony as I was on the phone with 911. Luckily , my brother and sister were still at work. My mum works 3shift so she’s able to take care of my kids while I’m at work on 2nd shift. We all made it out alive. It took a lot of fire trucks to help put out the fire. The fire fighters were very good and helpful. We were told we won’t be able to go back for a long while and Thanks to the red cross we are now in a hotel for a couple of days but we don’t know how long it will be until we go back home. I’m just trying to raise some funds to help us get some food, clothes and hopefully enough to help us get a short term rental until our house is ready. My family an I will be so grateful and very much appreciate any donations we can get. My husband and I are more concerned about the wellbeing of my parents and the kids. No amount is little.
Thanks so much for your help. God Bless you.
