Displaced by house fire
Donation protected
Hello everyone my name is Brooke. My family and I had a house fire on April 6th and we have displaced since. It was a family home that was originally my Grandmother's. When she passed the home was left to my aunt who was diagnosed with Dementia 3 years ago. She was in the process of signing the home over to me but we had a few things that had to be taken care of first. Me, my fiance, our 12 year old and 6 year old sons where living in the home when it caught fire. Along with our dog, cat and 3 bearded dragons. I was able to get everyone and our babies out just in time. Unfortunately, our 3 dragons lost their cages and lights. Almost everything in the home is either completely burnt or water damaged. Half of the home is salvageable but will need to be cleaned from the ceiling to the floors. Most carpets will need to be replaced so there is a lot of demolition that will need to be completed. The a/c unit was also burnt up in the fire so it will need to be replaced also. Unfortunately, we didn't have homeowners insurance because we had a roof leak in one of the bathrooms that we were in the process of fixing so we could get homeowners. The American Red Cross came out and helped with a hotel for a few days, they also helped us get the medicines back that we lost and they are going to help with any documents that were lost as well. We will need volunteers to help demo the burnt area of the home, clean and help rebuild. We have to have an inspector come out for the power before it can be turned back on. So any help would be greatly appreciated. We are also in need of clothing items, shoes, appliances, furniture and any home items. In addition to all that we also need help with funds for us to have somewhere to stay and to get the house back to living condition. Anything at this time will be greatly appreciated even if it's just a prayer and share of this gofundme. Thank you for taking the time to read this. And please please keep us in your prayers!
