Paulines House Fire

Donation protected
Good afternoon, My name is Deanna Esquilin, the niece of Pauline Gilleo-Mejia. Last night November 3,2020 while everyone was asleep her entire house cought fire. She no longer has her home she has worked so hard for. Also in the home with her was her husband Arquimedes, her son Efrain, and brother Richie. Unfortunately their beloved dog pippy didnt make it.  We cannot locate the cat but are also unsure if she made it out or not! Pauline and Arquimedes were cleared lastnight from the hospital with no injuries thankfully. But unfortunately my cousin Efrain had to be flown to Westchester Medical Center to be treated for 3rd degree burns to his face and hands along with smoke inhalation. My uncle Richie was transported to Westchester Medical Center as well with smoke inhalation and COVID-19.  We are all so thankful everyone made it out alive, but were devastated about the home she has lost. In the midst of all this their four cars between them all were also involved. Now all car-less, Paulines car having it the worse was completely engulfed. Still thankful for them being alive tho. As many of you know Pauline and Arqiumedes had their own Paint and Sip Company. One of the rooms where all the paintings and materials used to paint with are now gone. That was Arqiumedes passion and he now has to start from the bottom again! The only picture that was able to be saved was their wedding photo he hand painted! We all know my aunt has a huge heart and would so anything she could to help anyone that needed it. My cousin Efrain will be out of work for a while and doesnt have health insurance. Although my aunt and uncle lost everything and their cars they still have each other!  If you could help with anything from donating clothes for everyone to money to help with medical expenses we would forever be grateful! Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts and please continue to pray for my cousin Efrain and uncle Richie who remain in the hospital.hospital.
