Support Young Renters Recovering from Fire Tragedy
Donation protected
My roommates and I suffered a tragedy. Our house at 200 E 10 Mile Road, Pensacola, FL 32534, that we were renting, burned down on May 16th from 11:47 PM till 3:40 AM. We all lost everything, and this was our first time renting anywhere. I, myself, am a 20-year-old male. My two roommates are a 21-year-old male and a 23-year-old female. Each of our entire lives fit into one car load each, and it all was lost due to an accident that wasn't our fault. Our landlord's son lived in the section of the house upstairs, and his A/C unit caught fire from overheating. Luckily, no one was home when it happened.
The Red Cross company came and gave us $350 and said to contact them if any more help was needed, but they never answer the phone, so no help there. Due to this being the first time we've all rented, none of us knew about renter's insurance, sadly. Along with all this happening, the landlord's son has been looting our house because we're having to stay 30 minutes down the road and posting all of it on Facebook Marketplace. The landlord herself strictly said she will not be giving back the security deposit or any of the rent we paid. We have all been working so hard to start saving up, but any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thank you and God bless
