Help Jon Rebuild After Devastating Fire Loss

Hello, my name is Jon. I am a 26-year-old, and this is my story.

This morning, I woke up to the scariest thing I have ever experienced in my entire life: my next-door neighbor's fence on fire, which was spreading into my living room. I had my friend spending the night, and thankfully, we got out in time. However, I could not find my cat, Pepe, who is my life partner and best friend. Within minutes, my entire apartment was engulfed in smoke and flames. Pepe, unfortunately, did not make it. My entire home that I have made my safe place for the past 3 years has been completely destroyed. My life was completely turned upside down within a matter of minutes. Thankfully, everyone affected by the fire was not hurt. I am completely devastated by this, and I have no idea where to begin with the process of restarting. I am asking for some help getting back on my feet. Anything is appreciated. I am very lucky to have an amazing support system around me in this time of need. Thank you, everyone. I love you all.

*** Update. After not being able to return into the apartment for about two weeks, I was finally able to try to recover some of the things that were left in my apartment I was met with another devastating event. Looters had broken into my already destroyed apartment and completely ransacked it. Anything that could’ve been salvageable was now stolen or destroyed. On top of losing all of possessions, my home and my cat to this fire, looters decided to beat me when I was down and vulnerable and destroy any hope I had left to get some of my things back as well as to get some closure. Police reports have been filed for my stolen Macbook.
