House Fire caused death of 4 yr old and 5 yr old

Donation protected
In the early morning hours today, I received a really terrifying phone call while I was at work.  My wife, our 2 children, and my father were all at home sleeping when a fire broke out in the home. I left my job and went straight home to find my family in shambles.  The fire consumed the entire second floor of the house and most of the attic.  My wife has since been released from the hospital today and has joined my side at the hospital with our son. Our 5-year old son was burned by the fire in several locations on his body and is now suffering from brain swelling that has caused him to be diagnosed clinically brain dead because his brain is not receiving any oxygen or blood.  Our son had flatlined the day of the fire and was brought back, however, we are uncertain how long he was before he was pulled out of the house and performed CPR to bring him back. Our daughter passed away in the fire instantaneously.  The firefighters did everything they could to save her but the fire engulfed her bedroom and she had no way to escape.  They could not get to her.  She was only 4 years old.  We are heartbroken right now.  We just lost our daughter and our home in one day and our son in a few days later.  I hope my dad will be ok, he still in critical condition and it is unknown at this time what will happen with him.  I am asking for help to pay for our son and daughter's funeral expenses and finances to help us a new place to live.  Please help by praying for my family, and if you can financially help that would be great but if you can not help financially, please share this page and link with as many people as you can.
