Hello my name is Amberlynn. I lived at 433 1/2 E 2nd st. Before it was burned down yesterday by our neighbors boyfriend. At 1pm yesterday I left work I wasn't feeling well and had an constant urge to go home. When I got home I seen the neighbors outside and the one that lives under us was in tears. They said I couldn't go in my home because the man had baracaded himself in the home with gasoline. I also learned it all started because he ...again...had choked his girlfriend on our porch. A lady that lives next to us heard her scream and like an amazing woman came to help and got her safely away from him. Tried talking him down but he refused to leave and the lady that heard the ruckus had to call the police becausethe girlfriend refused. Well then I realize, yes, no human were in the homes beside him but our animals were. Nothing anyone could do until he was safely taken into custody. We hear a boom and thought tear gas was used. Then the black smoke came and so did the screams. Our poor babies were in that house. Somehow her dogs were running out the door and were safe! Mine were still scard and I could only imagine how they were feeling. Once they got the man out of the house they started putting fire out and went to find my cats. My male,Solo, came out first. He was foaming from the mouth and so hot. But he is alive! About 15 minutes later they come out with my sons blanket his teacher just gave him the day before with my sweet Hazel. I thought she was just clawing and that's why she was wrapped up in the blanket. Then the firefighter shook his head letting me know that my baby girl didnt make it and I don't remember much after that. I had to tell my kids that our home and cat were gone that only hours ago we took advantage of. Noone every thinks when they leave their home or loved ones that's the last time we will enjoy them. Hazel was laid to rest in my dad's garden and my son is making her a cross. Hours later we get a call saying we can go look at the house. Yes some pictures were saved but that's all. Everything else is a lost. We will never get that smell out of our belongings. So now I beg for help. That's all I can do is hope you guys find it in your hearts to help. Thank you for reading this and stay safe please!
This is what was left. All my children's things have smoke,water and Sud. I can't even risk the health hazards to save anything that might "appear" save able. It's not worth the risk. I saved some pictures. 2 tvs a vacuum and 2 fish. Some of my and my youngest clothing was in the closed dressers and we are trying to wash out the smell.
I increased the Goal because I didn't realize how much rebuilding actually is going to be.
Update: Thank you so much for all the donations. I'm blown away with gratitude! You have given me some hope that everything will be ok!
