Hello, my name is Jamela. Saturday, August 2, 2025, my family house caught fire and burned past restoration. I am a non-married mother with 3 children and an elder father who lived in the house with me, along with our dog. My father was injured saving our dog but is recovering well. He was burned on his face, nose, arm, and the top of his head. Me and my children were not home when the fire started. According to the fire department, the fire started in the master bedroom. The cause could not be determined and it was not arson. The home was old but was being renovated up until the fire. I work a full-time job scheduled 12 hours at night on a 2-2-3 schedule, but it's not enough to start rebuilding a place called 'Home.' The land has been in my family for generations, and the house had belonged to my grandparents before they passed. My family is devastated from this tragic loss and appreciates any help donated. Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
