Hello, my name is Patrick. The land my mother and I live on has been in our family for a very long time. The old farmhouse that has been on the land is where my mother and my aunts went to college at Tarleton State University. Unfortunately, due to an electrical problem, it burnt down on Wednesday, January 28th, around 7:30 pm, along with some memories, pictures, clothes, and other things that can be replaced. Luckily, our animals and both my mother and I are safe because we haven't lived in the old house for a couple of years.

The problem is that was where we cooked, showered, washed and dried our clothes, and kept our food. My mother lives in an RV next to the old house, and it's okay, and I live in a cabin shell in front of the old house. I'm not asking for this much money to build a new house or buy back all of our lost appliances, but I am asking because I know we will need help getting rid of all the debris and trash from the old house. If you can help in any way, we would appreciate it. We can't take food right now because we no longer have a fridge or freezer, but anything helps.

My plan is to use the money to rent a roll-off dump trailer and a skid steer or dozer to help us clean up the area so that maybe we can utilize the area when everything is cleaned up. Thank you. If you have any questions, you can find me or my mother's info on here or Facebook.
