Help This Family Rebuild

Good Evening! My name is Cameron Thomas, on Wednesday, July 19th my mom Barb Thomas had a fire as a result of what we believe was a faulty water heater. This caused a significant amount of fire, smoke, and soot damage to the full basement and majority of the upper level. At the time of the fire my mom did not have homeowner’s insurance.

When the fire started there were 3 kids home Anthony, Amber, and Gregory who’s fast actions saved what could have been a complete disaster.

As a result of the damage we are going to have to rebuild as we can. In lieu of money we would appreciate the assistance of any licensed plumbers, electricians, and or tradesmen.

This was home to Barb, Anthony (Son 15), Amber (Daughter 15), Luke (Golden Doodle), and Roman (Amber’s Service Dog) along with my sister Cassie, her daughter (Kailee), and Son (Gregory).

A little about my Mom (Barb). Barb is continuously looking for ways to support her family in friends and will stop at nothing to help even a stranger. She’s selfless with her time and has made it a point to bring joy to others even when she might be fighting battles of her own. She’s always the first to jump into action to solve a problem and has made her life around her kids.

Anthony and Amber are 15 year old twins. Anthony is a sophomore at Seckman High School. Anthony enjoys playing football and it’s my biggest supporter when it comes to any of my hobbies. Anthony is a kind soul who shares the same love for all! Most of Anthony’s gaming / PC was destroyed in the fire. He has immediately said he would rather see his family have beds again over replacing those items.

Amber has cerebral palsy so you could imagine this has been extremely difficult on her. We want to get Amber back home. This is going to take an Army but we have no quit in us as a unit. We are asking for contributions in whatever form you are willing to provide.

A lot of Cassie’s personal belongings were stored in the room that the fire started in. There has already been a tremendous amount of support to make sure Cassie, Kailee, and Gregory have some of the things they lost in the fire. Cassie recently went through a divorce and has been working 2 jobs in preparation of finding her own place. She lost most of what she had saved for her move.

We are willing to take whatever assistance we can get from monetary, cleaning, and/or materials. Currently we are in need of the following;

Drywall – 60 Sheets

Advantech Flooring – 15 Sheets

2x4 Studs – 100

Killz Primer – 30 Gallons

Cleaning Supplies – Towels, Murphy’s Oil (Removes Soot), Bleach, Vinegar, Etc.

Toilets – 3

Pex Pipe

Scrapers

Brushes, Rollers, Pans
