House Fire & Loss of Bestfriend

I am setting this fundraiser up on behalf of my brother, Miguel Viramontes Taylor, his girlfriend and there 3 children, who suffered from a devastating house fire this past weekend, on Thursday, December 2nd 2021 in which he lost his home, his belongings and best friend. 

After work he arrived to his house and was met with flames and clouds of black smoke coming out of his residence. He desperately attempted to get inside to locate his best friend and pet dog Sancho, but was unable to get inside because of the heat and amount of smoke that pushed out when he opened his doors. My brother called 911 and had no choice but to watch as his house burned and prayed for the best, that his pup was somehow ok. 

The Fire and Police Department arrived and took over as he watched in horror, feeling distraught and helpless. They located Sancho but he was found passed out and unresponsive. They tried vigorously to bring Sancho back but they were unsuccessful. My brother lost his best friend of 7 years  And Although the fire department did all that they could to put the fire out, he still lost EVERYTHING! The fire destroyed all of their clothes, furniture, food, Christmas gifts and even a diabetic child’s medical equipment and medications. 

The fire chief declared their home inhabitable. 

My brother had just acquired this house on April 12th of this year and has been putting everything he’s earned into this house to have it remodeled and up to date for him and his family. He recently had the duplex completely repiped, from basement to the top floor. Part of that pipping melted, as it was Apex pipe. Everything he had was new and recently acquired since he purchased this home. It’s sad because I’ve personally watched my brother struggle day to day through the good and the bad, to get where he was before December 2nd. To lose it all in a blink of an eye….is a sentiment to which very little words can describe.

If you’re a Dog lover, or a pet lover in general, a kind person, or just have a good heart, if you can, PLEASE donate to my brother and his family as they are in need.

We understand that the holiday season is here and that alone is stressful for everyone but any donation will be greatly appreciated. If you are unable to give, PRAYERS and SHARES of this fundraiser are also very much appreciated.. Anything helps as we are NOT just looking for monetary donations only. Even if you have spare lumber like 2x4s, main beams, plywood, drywall, ANY materials or even if you have trade labor experience and are willing to come out and lend helping hand and help my brother rebuild up his home and his life for his family, it would be a blessing and truly appreciated. We are also asking for help with Children’s clothes for 2 girls sizes 6/7 and 3t and 24m and 5t for the two boys. Sancho can never be replaced, but items that are needed to get through day to day life can be. Sancho will always live in our hearts.

I want to Thank you all for taking the time to hear his story and for your donations, prayers, shares, help and your consideration. 

We will give be posting updates.
