Family home destroyed by fire
Donation protected
Hello all. My name is April Swanger, the sister to Angeline Swanger who lived with her boyfriend Scott Fularz with her 5 children. On 10/21, my sister received a call while at work that her home along with her boyfriend of 4 years were gone after their home caught fire. Her youngest Felix (4) barely made it out alive but survived with minor burns on his fingers because he ran to the basement to save his kitty. We deeply believe that Scott told him to do that and ultimately saved his life, also with help from the neighbor who we can never repay for being there first. He was pulled out and was okay after receiving oxygen at Childrens. Unfortunately, her boyfriend and owner of the home passed away from extensive injuries.
My sister Angeline has 6 children 5 of whom live with her, and they lost every single thing they own from damages. Angie is currently staying in a hotel but only for another 2 weeks.
I was personally asked by Angie's team at her work to reopen the go fund me, as well as being contacted by many people after I took the donation button off. Angie is naturally hesitant to accept help but the love and support that she has been receiving has been unreal and unlike anything ever and we now know and believe that people just want to help. Any little thing helps. If you can’t donate, that is absolutely okay. We understand how tough it is in this day and age to live comfortably. All she wants is to get a stable safe roof over her kid's heads and reliable transportation, as her van was bought for her by Scott, and it was in his name, so she did lose her van. Angie wants each and every person who donates to know that she will continue to work and stay strong for her kids and use every single penny to put into rebuilding. She won't let anyone down.
Thank you for taking the time to read. Please forgive the long read as I have never created a go fund me before.
