My name Is Nia Allen. Tonight, January 2nd, my house went on fire and everything in it is now not salvageable. While my house went completely on fire, I looked around me and saw 17 other faces,  majority of them children ages ranging from 6 months to 20 years old, distraught and cold. I share my home with my sister and we have lived together for years as we are a family.

I would have never thought that the new year would immediately bring new struggles but all I can do is keep my head up for my family. We did not have renters insurance so we are completely on our own. If anyone could help me support my husband, kids and I... I would really appreciate it. EVERY little bit helps.
