Help Fire Victims Joe, Elsie, and Megan
Donation protected




My name is Michelle Rucker-Penland. I am setting up a GoFundMe for my boyfriend and others affected by a house fire in Vero Beach, Florida. Joe Anderson, Elsie Santiago, and Megan who lost everything they owned.
The House Fire Destroyed Everything, including a Car.
The fire broke out yesterday evening, Saturday, July 6, 2024. Joe, Elsie, and three dogs were home when the fire broke out. They were able to escape before the fire entered the main area of the house and called 911. The garage and entire upstairs were engulfed when the fire department arrived. The fire department worked for hours to put the fire out. By the time the fire was extinguished 90% of the home, its contents, and a car parked in front of the driveway were destroyed.
Furniture, beds/bedding, tools, dishes, pots/pans, computers, TVs, clothing, food, personal items, photos, memories, family heirlooms, etc. are gone.
The fire inspector found the cause of the fire was due to a kink in an extension cord in the garage.
A Veteran, Retired Postal Worker, and Musician lost everything. Funds will be used for immediate needs such as food, clothing, personal items, transportation, personal hygiene items, a place to live/sleep, and anything they may not realize they need at the time of setting up this GoFundMe page. Any donation will be appreciated.
Please share this GoFundMe page to help spread the word. Even if your unable to donate or assist, sharing the 1645 2nd Ct SW, Vero Beach, Florida.
Thank you and God Bless.
