On Sunday morning of the 15th, my sister Max woke up to seeing a fire on her curtains and she immediately got out. The fire spread and the propane tanks under it, blew up, causing the fire spread to my parent's house, burning it all down. My mom opened the curtains and saw the fire, first thing she thought was of Max and yelled at my dad to run out to get her out. My dad ran out with no shoes on but luckily, Max was already out and safe but then the fire started to spread and they worked so hard to try to put it out but it spread so fast that they couldn't keep up. By then it was too late to try to grab anything important. My mom has her phone but her wallet and everything else was lost in the fire. Both my dad and my sister Max lost their phones and everything. My dad didn't even have a pair of shoes to put on. I ran to the store and got him shoes. They'll have to start from scratch now- we are working on clothes and they are living with me. The goal right now is to hopefully earn enough to build a small house for my parents on their beloved farm. Anything helps to get my parents and my sister to get back on their feet. I'm just very grateful that they are alive.
