House fire Palatine IL lost everything Nancy Kamka
Donation protected
Greetings,
My name is Christopher and I am raising funds for my mother Nancy Kamka. At 0150 in the morning on 11/19/22 my mothers house in Palatine, IL caught on fire while sleeping. By the time she realized the smoke and heat where overwhelming. She made a quick attempt to save 2 of her 4 cats to no avail. She had no escape option other then the bedroom window. She punched out the window and escaped to the neighbors house for help.
My mother suffered a severe 3+ inch laceration that required stitches on her right forearm and stitches on her left hand from punching out the window. Due to the severe smoke and heat inhalation she is currently sedated and on a ventilator as well as dialysis for blood acidosis (acidic blood). She is making small improvements but has a long road ahead of her.
Two of her four cats where found deceased inside the home the other two have not been found. My mother’s house is most likely a total loss as well as all possessions inside. Please help my mother in her most extreme time of need. Thank you very much.
