Help for Emily and Lily after a house fire
Donation protected
My daughter's best friend Lily and her mom Emily lost everything they own to a fire, on Thursday 17 January 2019. Emily is a super hardworking single mom, and Lily is a model student and the sweetest friend in the world.
Very early that Thursday morning, a large fire broke out in a number of sheds and garages behind Emily and Lily's apartment. Gainesville Fire Rescue was at the scene quickly, but the fire spread through the trees onto their apartment, the second story of a house. Thank goodness everyone was safe; Lily, Emily and the cat were unharmed. However, the apartment (the whole house) was destroyed by the fire and by water.
They are currently living in a hotel with only the clothes on their backs and the emergency donations received by the Red Cross and friends. They need money to rebuild their lives: at the very least they need emergency funds to cover the hotel stay as long as needed, and funds to cover a deposit of about 2 months rent for a new place.
Emily and Lily are so hardworking and sweet, they need all the help they can get right now. With everything that has happened, Emily is feeling a little overwhelmed. There are many people that offered assistance and we want to make sure that it is the help they need. Their first needs have been mostly met, so now it's time to give them the resources to rebuild.
A donation, no matter the size, will make a difference to Emily. Thank you so much for anything you can give.
