On Saturday, February 22nd, at approximately 5:23 am, Candace, Zooey & Ryan were awoken by a loud explosion. They suddenly realized their new house was in flames. They had just moved in 8 days prior on Valentine's Day. They scrambled to save their daughter and managed to make it out with just the clothes on their back. Their cat, Nugget, died in the fire despite the attempts to save her and one of their dogs is still in the ER vet clinic with burns and damage to her face & both corneas.

They had JUST moved in 8 days prior and the entire house and her car are a total loss. On top of it all, they are getting married in October. This is a HUGE, HORRIFYING & TRAUMATIC setback for their new life together. Anything will help. God bless you and please {{{hug}}} your families a little tighter and say a prayer for this family as they rebuild their lives.

Update: The arson investigator has ruled this an accidental natural gas leak. The explosion should have flattened their home and taken their lives. KVUE News Story
