Swann family house fire

Donation protected
Sunday night this family found themselves lucky to be alive after a gas leak lead to two explosions at their home. While bathing their daughter, a spark ignighted from the hot water tank under their bathroom. Quickly enough the parents Ashley Moore Swann and Travis Swann grabbed their daughter  Haleigh from out of the tub and quickly ran outside as the second explosion occurred. Luckily her older sister Bella was not home at the time. Travis quickly ran back inside and busted the hot water tank, and a water line, and grabbed their three dogs.  With 3 fire extinguishers he tried to battle the fire until help could arrive.  He was only able to grab a couple clothes baskets and the girls 2 dolls, and  their stuffed animal that they have slept with since they were little. While just a few items could be salvaged the next day, unfortunately Travis's long time family home, can not be saved, and they did not have renters insurance to cover their belongings.  They were hit with a tornado a few years ago,  Travis has always been that guy that would give a stranger the shirt off his back and would open up his home to anyone in need, as well as be there for anyone asking or not asking for his help at the drop of a hat. He found those same qualities in his wife and you could not meet more beautiful, sweet, smart and amazing little girls. Although They would never set up a fund for themselves or ask anyone for help they sure could use it.   We have set up a goal in which if we could reach will be amazing but will not touch their expenses. They will have to start over. The Red Cross has put them up in a hotel for three nights, but on top of having to find a place, to rent, they will have to rebuild their home and replace  appliances and furniture . I know any help will be greatly appreciated.
