Lost in a fire
Donation protected
On June 18, 2020 our life changed in a matter of minutes. I received the most devastating phone call from my 9 year old daughter screaming to me our apartment was on fire and she needed me. As a mother hearing your child beg for you and there is nothing you can do about it is the most brutal hurt a mother should never have to feel. I had to talk three children, four nephews and my god child out of a burning building because I knew I would not make it home in time. Once I reached the gate to my apartment I watched the second floor drop to the first floor apartment with everything I have worked so hard for. All my babies standing there crying with nothing but the clothes on their backs and no shoes. How do I explain to these kids and their mothers of the mental trauma this situation has brought upon them. How do I explain to my children that we have no home to go to. Please, anything will help. Thank you!
