Help Melani Rebuild After Fire Tragedy

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Melani. In February, I had a traumatic situation and I had to move out of my house immediately. I found this person renting out this “apartment” and moved in, not instantly realizing that this home had a few issues.

When summer time came around, I was told I was going to get a mini split. They took a long time to install it, and this was as temperatures were at their highest. Instead of a mini split, they installed just one window unit. It was very hot, but I had to deal with it until my landlord decided to fix it.

Apart from the heat, I couldn’t have more than one thing plugged in the house because even with that one window unit I was using, it started smelling burnt. Yesterday, I woke up, did my usual routine, went to work, and came back to find my home in a smoke fire mess. I called 911. Once the fire department came, they were able to tell me an electric fire started in my room due to the window unit.

I’m glad I wasn’t home, but I’m so sad that I worked so hard to build my home and now everything is lost. I’m back to house hunting and building up my wardrobe with necessities. All donations will be used to purchase all major necessities and housing expenses.
