Support Danielle and Neighbors After Tragedy
Donation protected
My name is Danielle, and on Tuesday, November 19th, my condo was destroyed in a gas explosion and fire. I was home at the time of the blast and standing in my living room when the explosion shook my house and I felt hot air rush into my face. One of my walls was blown to pieces and what was left of the wall was in flames. My front exterior wall was collapsing inward and I could barely open my door to get out. I narrowly escaped the flames and falling debris through a very small opening in my front door. The fire was near my staircase and I couldn't get upstairs to get my cat, Jade. I was absolutely devastated and thought I lost her in the fire. Miraculously, with the help of my neighbors, Jade was found the next morning, and fortunately, we are reunited and she is doing well.
I lost all of my belongings and vehicle in the explosion. Any donations will help me with purchasing essentials (food, clothing, medications, transportation, short and long term housing) and rebuilding my life after this total loss. I will also be sharing a portion of the donations with my neighbors, as at least 20 other homes were destroyed in the explosion and dozens of my fellow community members are displaced at this time.
Thank you so much for your kindness and support. Anything helps during this time. Please feel free to share this Gofundme with anyone you know.
