PREGNANT MOM EVACUATES BURNING HOUSEHOLD
Donation protected
Six months pregnant, Amanda DeVargas woke up to a smoke-filled house on March 18 with her fiancé already gone for work.
She quickly evacuated two daughters, two siblings, four dogs, and two litters of puppies, a total of 12 dogs. She said within 10 minutes the entire porch outside was gone.
Because the fire traveled under the house, through the walls and into the attic, they could see fire licking at the vents but it didn’t enter the rooms and everyone was able to get out safely, DeVargas said.
The family is now staying with DeVargas’ mom in Albuquerque, but looking for a home in the Edgewood and Moriarty area. The family lost all of their furniture, everything in the kitchen, all their new baby supplies, and all of their clothes.
The family also still has a barn on the property filled with livestock. They are commuting daily to tend to their animals.
They need girls clothes, size 7/8; girls shoes, size 1; women’s clothing, size small and medium; and men’s clothes, size medium, along with household goods of all kinds.
Donations can be dropped off at 9212 Arvada NE, Albuquerque NM, 87112
