Fire destroys Neighborhood Grandma's Home At Christmas

Donation protected
Hello, I'm setting up a GoFundMe for my 78-year-old mother. Her name is Orelia Mullen, but everyone calls her Fuzzy

Her home was destroyed in an electrical house fire on Friday six days before Christmas. As you can see in the pictures, her home was destroyed along with her Christmas tree and her grandkids presents. My mom and three of her grandkids were asleep. One of her grandkids was up. He woke her up when he saw the fire. They woke the other kids and were able to escape the fire without serious injuries.

My mother did not have homeowners insurance. My mother has been a mother to many that she didn't birth. My mom has been the neighborhood mother while I was growing up, and also the neighborhood mom in my adult life. She's always fed and clothed the homeless. My dad was killed when I was 9, and my mom raised 6 kids by herself. She's helped raise most of her 25 grandkids. She's took in ans raised 3 kids and helps raise her grand and great-grandkids. My mom is also an Autism Grandmother. She's my right hand with my son, Royce, who is non-verbal and autistic. Royce stays with my mom while I work. My mother has never met a stranger. She lost everything in the house fire except her bed and clothes. The fire department cut a hole in her roof to let the smoke escape from her home. Please help me get my 78-year-old mother's home repaired. She feels homeless at Christmas time. Any donation will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Robin
