Hi, I'm Kim and I am asking for help on behalf of my grandparents and all my family who live with them.

On Sunday May 7th, my grandparents were celebrating their 80th and 74th birthday with our family in their shared Jersey City townhouse. A fire started in the vents that spread without notice but thankfully we all escaped safely. Unfortunately, my family lost so much from the aftermath of the fire.

They need help with renovations/repairs, replacing all their belongings, assistance with finding temporary housing for my grandparents, 3 small grandchildren, their parents, and my uncle. They need help while they figure out what is and isn't covered by insurance. They barely speak English...we are doing everything we can to come together and pause our jobs to help them through this while continuing to pay for their mortgage.

This home means everything to them..to me..to my whole family. Despite having little, I grew up knowing my grandparents as the kindest, most forgiving, and the most generous people I've ever met. If you are able to help, anything would be appreciated.
