A week ago, our friend - and neighbor - went through one of the most devastating things a homeowner can experience in the midst of a pandemic.
It was late morning when my partner woke me up to the heart-stopping news that our neighbors house was on fire. Knowing nothing more than that - and fearing the absolute worst - I ran across the street to find her.
I am beyond thankful to say that she and one of her cats made it out safely - but her other cat and her house - were unfortunately not as lucky. The flames seemed manageable when I first saw them but it was less than a minute before that statement was no longer true.
The house is now boarded up and has been deemed unlivable. The back half of the house - where the fire started - is nearly gone, and any part untouched by fire is covered in a thick layer of black soot and now-frozen water from the firefighters attempt to control the blaze.
Normally, in a case such as this, a homeowner would be covered by their home insurance. However, unfortunately, due to the mere fact that we have been going through a pandemic and money is tight to begin with - our neighbors house was uninsured at the time.
We are asking for anyone who can afford to help, to please donate what you can - even if it seems like a small amount - it all adds up and would be greatly appreciated.
Your donations will go straight to our neighbor, to help cover the cost of getting back on her feet.
We have set the goal at $2,000 which would go towards the cost of food, clothes, basic necessities and paying for 1st months rent and damage deposit on an apartment - however, if we can manage to raise anything over and above this amount it will go towards helping her pay off the remaining mortgage of just under $110k on the house that is no longer livable.
We want to thank you in advance, from the bottom of our hearts, for any and all donations you are able to contribute. If you are not able to donate, but would like to help, please share this fundraiser with your family and friends. Every dollar helps.
