Support Reign's Family After Fire Displacement

Donation protected
As some of you already know my family and I were displaced on 9/11 due to a neighboring house fire. I’m going to try and write this with class, and without offending anyone. Here it goes:

Accidents happen, I get that and I hate to point fingers, if I’ve caught your attention and you choose to continue reading I’m sure you’ll understand. The Neighbor, left her four Children home alone while she went out of town, she left them to only use a gas grill. The oldest daughter left the propane tank on too long and well, that’s where the nightmare started. My husband and baby boy were sleeping at the time, I was headed to an appointment. Thankfully a different neighbor alerted my husband and my guys evacuated safely! Which is the most important part of it all. The down side, my home was filled with smoke and is unlivable. My husband and I ran in when the fire department said it was clear, grabbing Reigns clothes and other small items. We packed a u-haul the next day with most of our belongings. The kicker, neither my landlord or the neighbor has homeowners insurance. Of course not! I have renters insurance but as any other claim they are fighting us on paying. My landlord paid for a hotel for 2 days Along with returning our security deposit and pro rated rent for this month, wow! Thanks! The Salvation Army has put us in a hotel for this week only. We are working around the clock with a realtor to find a home, the reality is, buying a house right now is the worst investment. Rentals are slim and the amount is through the roof. The worst part of all of this is Reign. Explain this to a toddler, he cries everyday saying ‘home mamma, home’ and each time I cry harder and harder. Although this isn’t mine or his dads doing the guilt is eating me up. He deserves his toys, his room and his bed. Right now we have the money for most of what we would need for a rental, however the other expenses such as food, the little miscellaneous items that got tossed in storage and just day to day life is going to eat that up quick. It cost me over $300 at the laundromat to wash our clothes not even guaranteeing that they are salvageable. Totes to live out of etc. my family and I are asking for everyone to keep an eye out for a rental and I’m hoping this reaches the right person in that regard. The money would be immensely helpful, but so would the rental leads and prayers!
