Hopkins family in time of Crisis

Hi, I'm Abbie one of Hopkins family friends. On January 28th, they had a tragic incident happen; a house fire.. Fire chief is unsure if it was an electrical fire or a chimney fire.. SOME stuff is salvageable from downstairs, but upstairs, which was their bedroom and 13 year old sons, is a complete loss. They were home when it started, but being it was in the rafting above their bedroom ceilings, they had no idea it was even happening. A gentleman stopped, knocked on our door, and said, "Your house is on fire, get out" and yup, it was, smoke was just pouring out of the top of the house. Jamie yelled up to her son who was upstairs to get downstairs the house is on fire and her husband who was in the shower jumps out and gets dressed completely wet, trying to help Jamie and Logan get the cat and three dogs out of the house, while at the same time Jamie was trying to frantically find her phone to call 911.. by the time they got to the scene unfortunately, they couldn't get it contained, and it just kept spreading.

Their family is riddled with anxiety as we sit homeless once again for the second time in two years. Luckily they including the animals are okay but have nothing other than what was on their backs and in their vehicles. Logan lost completely everything, his clothes melted to his dresser and a kid that didnt have alot of stuff as it was to loose everything. Makayla their 18 year old daughter (who was working during the fire, therefore not home) lost majority of her stuff being it was all paper products, pictures, clothes, bedding and things a normal teenage girl would have. But her room was located right underneath Logans room (the main source of the blase) so has alot of water damage. Jamie and Johnny's room is also where the fire affected and they lost their bed, clothes, tv, memories, ashes of family pet and so so much more. The downstairs however if it doesn't stink of fire smoke it was ruined from the water damage. All their TV's, appliances, perishable food, towels, blankets... everything soaked to its core.

My heart really feels for them as Johnny has been laid off for the season as his work is extremely limited due to chronic lymes. Jamie works as a teachers aid for the local school district helping children with special needs excel in school.

This family was struggling to make ends meet before the fire, now they have no home, no clothes, nothing. And with weather reaching -20's at night, living in a camper is just not feasible.

They need funds to purchase new essentials, new clothes for themselves and the two kids and if raised enough housing.
