My name is Timothy, and my family and I are facing the unimaginable after our house burned down. I live with my handicapped uncle, my mom, and my sister. The fire was devastating—my handicapped uncle was badly burned and is now in the hospital, fighting to recover. My other uncle was rescued from the house, but sadly, he passed away shortly after from smoke inhalation. My mom suffered some burns, but thankfully she and my sister made it out alive.

We also had five cats and three dogs in our home. Tragically, three of our cats and one of our dogs did not survive the fire. Losing our pets and our home at the same time has been incredibly hard on all of us. Almost everything we owned was destroyed, and we are left with nothing.

Right now, our most urgent needs are to replace essential items and find a new place to live. We are grateful for any support, no matter how small, as we try to rebuild our lives from scratch. Thank you to anyone who is able to help us during this difficult time.
