Jones Family needs help after Murfreesboro, TN house fire

UPDATE AGAIN: I figured out how to add pics. They are at the bottom of the post.

Update and more detail:

We have pictures available and are trying to get them uploaded. We appreciate every single one of you who are praying, thinking of us, sharing, and donating.

The 2 of us who had to be rescued were my wife and our 8 year old daughter. I jumped out the 2nd story window (where they were) to try and get our ladder. Our oldest kids climbed out their ground level windows, and our oldest son got the ladder while I went next door for water (our pipes were melted). Drew got the ladder to the window as Fire and Rescue arrived. The response time was amazing. My wife and daughter were on the phone with 911 for only 6 minutes. My wife and our 2 daughters were treated for smoke inhalation and released.

The restoration company is estimating that we will be displaced for about/at least 6 months. So far, our animals are all housed/fed/handled...(16 was a total accident, one of our dogs got pregnant RIGHT before her spay appointment). What we set as our goal is the insurance deductible. We are grateful to have gotten out with only scrapes and bruises. I'm not sure any of us have really sat to process any of this, we are just in go mode. Thank you so much for reading this far. ❤️
