My name is Joseph, and on December 22nd, while I was at work, my son and dog were home when a fire broke out in the house. My son was asleep, and the dog was in her cage when this unforeseen event occurred. My son woke up to the fire in the house, but he acted quickly. He was able to get out of the house to call 911 and gather help from neighbors to shut the power off and save my dog, Raven. I couldn't have asked for a better son. Despite the circumstances, I'm very proud of my son and grateful he was not injured.

At this time, the house is unlivable and will take a good 8 months or longer before we can call it home again. We are asking for any help during this time of need. Thank you.
