My family's home just burned down. Please help
Donation protected
Hello, dear friends. With the heaviest heart, I've come here to ask for help on behalf of my family in Texas whose home burned down suddenly and traumatically a few days ago.
Thursday afternoon, my Aunt Mimi and Uncle Paul were at the cardiologist where my Uncle was about to receive an EKG for an ongoing Plethora of the heart condition when their neighbor called and told them their house was burning down. They rushed home to find all of their belongings, family pictures, clothes and comforts of home up in flames.
The source of the fire was identified as the freezer, which contained meat and basic sustenance. They were horrified that their elderly dogs were nowhere to be found in the immediate aftermath, and were informed by the fireman that the meat remnants in the ashes could possibly be their beloved pets.
The silver lining of the situation is that after a panicked search, their dogs were found alive and preciously safeguarding their pet chickens nearby.
My Aunt and Uncle are the most generous, loving and kind people I know. They would give the shirts off their back to help someone in need without hesitation. Home has always meant the world to them and to be deprived of their shelter and safehaven has been nothing short of traumatizing, especially at their age.
I am shattered to see the outcome of this horrific accident and wish I alone had the resources to help them begin to rebuild their life. But I don't. So, I call upon the good nature of all the people I know for help in any capacity.
I will be updating you on the progress of this gigantic undertaking, and share with everyone the results of your contributions. Thank you and bless you all for your kindness.
