Fire takes everything
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Rose and I am raising money for my brother and his family who lost everything they had in a tragic fire.
On February 23rd, 2024, my brother and his fiancé were sitting in their apartment while my niece was napping in the other room when they smelled smoke coming in from the open window. They heard banging on the door and then the firemen came in telling them they had to evacuate. They were able to get out safely with the baby, diaper bag, a few bottles, and a can of formula. My brother was able to also run back in to grab their cat, car seat, another can of formula, and the stroller. Besides those couple things, they lost everything else. All of their clothes, shoes, dishes, appliances, everything for the baby besides car seat and stroller, toiletries, food, legal documents, all the cat supplies, absolutely everything. They worked so hard for everything they had and this event has truly broke my heart.
I would like to raise enough money for them to be able to have a first month, last month, and security deposit for a new apartment, be able to replace all legal documents, and for them to at least replace the basic essentials they need. My niece turns 1 year old in 3 months and my brother and his fiancé were planning their wedding. I really want to help them as much as possible so this year can still be as amazing as everyone was planning. Please keep them in your hearts and prayers. Anything helps.
