Help Lisa rebuild her home lost to a fire

Donation protected
My mom lives in San Antonio, TX. Like most folks in TX, she didn't have power for several days and the internal temperature of her house was steadily dropping. To make things worse, her water pipes froze over. They were sitting ducks without water or electricity. She dusted off her generator and started it up. It was working fine for an hour when they noticed that a fire had started. It quickly moved to the house. They ran outside in the snow and tried to stop it. They used a fire extinguisher to no avail. They tried the hose but had no water! They tried to use the snow to snuff out the fire! It moved too fast. She sustained minor burn injuries on her hand trying to stop it from spreading inside her childhood home. Nothing helped. They ran around the house to grab their pets as they hid from the fire.

She managed to get most of her pets and my disabled uncle from his bed. It all happened so quickly. She didn't have time to grab shoes or a coat and stood outside watching all of her possessions burn right in front of her. 

I am so grateful that they are all safe! This could have ended much worse. I am having trouble completing this summary thinking about it. What most folks don't know is that she didn't grow up in a steady household. She had no childhood possessions or happy memories. She worked hard raising 5 kids alone. Everything she owned was due to her hard work and determination. Everything she owned was in that house. It's gone. Everything is gone. 

Anything you can contribute will help. If possible, we will attempt to rebuild on the same plot and do all of the manual labor to save on cost. 

Thank you for considering. Please be careful out there and keep on eye on your generators.
