Hello. I never thought I'd be here, but here I am.

Our home caught on fire 5 days ago. We have lost all our belongings and have no home for 3-6 months.

We are a family of 5, 3 kids, 1 dog, 2 cats, a turtle, and 12 chickens. We have not had luck finding housing, so I cannot work because I have to drive the kids to three different schools and keep the animals fed and safe.

Anything you can offer would be appreciated. Our insurance is covering the hotel, but other than that, we are on our own. We are thankful that we have a place to sleep, but we have no clothes, household supplies, food, or toiletries.

We are in need of some funds to survive. Thank you for anything you can donate for people or animals.
