Urgent Assistance for Sarah's Family Post-Fire

Donation protected
Hello. My name is Hannah and I’m creating this go fund me for my identical twin sister Sarah, her boyfriend Sean and his brother/roommates Chad and his girlfriend Ariana. On Tuesday, April 16, around 10:00am I received a call from my frantic sister. The first words I heard were “my house is on fire and I think I just lost everything!” I immediately jumped in my car and raced over to her house. I get to her street and it’s basically blocked completely with fire trucks, medics and police vehicles. I put the car in park and sprinted down the street towards the cul-de-sac where her house was. As I’m running I see my father fast walking towards the house. I see my sister on her knees in the driveway crying. As I’m running up to her she looks at me and says “Wally’s dead. I’ve lost everything.” That’s when I see her beloved cat “Wally” lying on the concrete alongside his two other feline housemates and friends Romeo and Poppy. All deceased. I see Ariana on her knees crying. Also next to her in his tank was Robbie, her boa constrictor, whom she’s had for years and years also deceased. I let out a horrible cry and got on my knees next to my devastated sister and friend and shared a long cry for our small family members. These animals have touched our lives in such a way that losing them seems impossible. I know that if you are a pet owner then you know what I mean. To lose them the way we have is heartbreaking. I look to the house and see the unimaginable and irreversible damage the fire has caused. Apparently there was a short of some kind within the kitchen toaster that started the fire. It engulfed the kitchen quickly and spread. Sarah’s fish that she had for years also couldn’t withstand the smoke and heat. The fire rose but did not take the house. However the smoke damage was to great. Everything is ruined. EVERYTHING. The fire took their pets, their belongings and their home. They are now homeless. All the things they have collected over the years are destroyed. Please. Please help my family and friends regain what was lost. Even if it’s a dollar. God works in mysterious ways and He has a plan for us all. We might not understand it or even like it but trusting in Him is what we have to do. Please share this. We need all the support we can get right now. Love you all and be blessed. Thank you.
