On Tuesday, January 18, 2022, our home was deemed destroyed by the American Red Cross. The lieutenant of the federal fire arson and fraud department determined that the fire was electrical, and started under the crawlspace of our home. We where on the way to find out the gender of our baby when we got the call from our frantic neighbor asking if "anyone was in the house?". We where praying it was small (or a misconception of some sort). But we pulled up to see 5 firetrucks and smoke billowing from every window and door. We tried to run up and scream to the fire dept. That our animals are in it , and to "PLEASE let the animals out!!!"
but it was too late..
nothing in that home had any oxygen to breath for some time by then, so we literally watched as our pets and everything we've put all of our hard , every single day, sweat, blood and tears to build and accumulate. Our innocent kids things. Their Christmas gifts they just got a few weeks ago. All of the things we've been slowly but surely obtaining for the arrival of our newborn this July.. gone.. in mere moments, but having to watch my family suffer and hurt like they are. I can't put that feeling in words.
We are certainly grateful. Even though we did lose our pets and everything we had built, we still have each other. we lose no faith, but only gain and learn to appreciate things alot more today..
As far as salvageable.. next to nothing..
And even though our minds are clear of substance, there is so much overburdening weight and worry that clouds our minds. What now? Where do we truly even begin?
We have decided to accept blessing and help from people that have been asking if they can help us. It's not easy to I must say. We don't want to feel like we are just sitting with our hands out, because we are not. If anything Its more about the kids than anything. For 3 innocent little girls to lose everything they have and love, including the animals that would console them during this tough time. Its all just truly heart shattering. help doesn't come in just a dollar sign. A prayer has multitudes of strength. A thought. Words of empowerment and positivity. Support of any kind is more than appreciated with the utmost of gratitude. Here are our sizes for those who were asking. And we are going to go ahead and take the advice from everyone offering, to start a go fund me for my family.. God bless all of you. And whoever decides to come forward to help us? We are more than extremely grateful for anything and everything. God bless you all..
