Help Father and 5 kids after house fire
Our names are Shirleen and Brandon. We are fundraising for our brother in law, Rico and his 5 kids, our niece and nephews, who lost everything to a house fire on June 10th. The fire was quickly spreading through the house so there was no time for them to grab anything. He had 5 little ones, ages 9, 7 (twins), 6 and 2, to get out of the house safely. Thankfully, everyone got out of the house safely, but only with the clothes they were wearing. Our brother in law doesn't even have a shirt. Everthing in the house was lost, including a family pet, all his money, all his and the kids' clothes, the key to his vehicle, all their food, EVERYTHING. Rico is a single parent with his 5 children and doesn't have any savings or insurance to cover any of the loss or to pay any expenses. He is not a person who asks for help, that's why we are doing this for him and our niece and nephews. The red cross is paying for 3 nights in a hotel but he has to figure something out after that. We are hoping to alleviate some of the financial stress for our brother in law. He is such a loving and caring person and this is a serious time of need for him and our niece, and nephews. All donations will go to necessities and costs of getting him and the kids into a new house. Every single donation helps! Thank you so much and God bless!
