<div>A fire broke out in my dorm building, it started right across the hall, and the smoke and water damage seeped into everything I owned. I wasn’t able to save anything- my entire life was in that room. I lost all of my clothes, shoes, art supplies, and living essentials for hygiene and self-care. Some of the things I lost were irreplaceable. Ever since my father passed I’ve always kept a lot of his items with me, such as his JNCO pants, wooden chest I crafted for Father’s Day, and even pictures with him were lost. 
</div>
<div>Every memory and milestone seem tied to something in that room and now it’s all gone.

<div>As an independent college student I am already struggling to pay tuition on my own. I serve typically 6 shifts a week to make ends meet, and this fire has made my needs even greater. I’m trying to keep up with classes and responsibilities but it’s hard to focus when I don’t have the basics. Right now, I need help replacing essentials: shoes, underwear, socks, shirts, pants, shorts, lotion, natural hair products. 
</div>
<div>These basics will help me get back to school, return to my art, and start to feel less stranded. I’m reaching out because I truly have nothing left, every bit of support will help me rebuild and move forward. 
</div>
<div>Anything helps, and I’m so grateful for any support you can give. Thank you for reading my story and for being a part of my recovery.
