We've lost everything


Hi everyone. I literally don't even know where to start with this. Except to start with...our house burnt down.
We have lost everything on our property.
What may be there isn't something we can live in. No power, no water etc. (our water is from our well)
Basically what I'm saying is.. we will not be able to live on our property anymore.

There are six of us.
Me, my husband Lance, my son Kevin, my brother Larry, my brother Mark and my niece Michele.
And we need help please.

A little back story...
My parents both passed away in this house. I was their full-time caregiver until they both took their last breath.
My stepfather passed away in February of 2017, and my mother followed and lost her battle to alzheimer's in January of 2020. I did not know, literally, that 9 1/2 years after my step dad passed away and 6 1/2 years after my mother passed away that this home would be gone.
If it wasn't for this property & this home.. and because of my parents purchasing it, and a friend helping me get it paid off... we would all be living in our cars.
We would be homeless.
And sadly, we are now!
Because financially speaking.. we are all almost destitute.
Me and Lance have lived off a lot of credit and loans because he's the only one who works and I'm disabled. And on and on and on.

This story is what many families are going through, sadly.

We are just reaching out for help so that as soon as possible we can get more clothes, essentials, food etc... eventually be in a new place.
Two places though...one for me my husband and my son, and the other one for my two brothers and my niece... Because at this point in time, it'd be better if we got into separate places.

Because the evacuation is still up, the fire is still going and the roads are closed, I don't have any pictures or videos of my property. Once things open up and we are able to get back out there, I will update this GoFundMe with pictures and videos.

There are so many things that we lost in this fire I cannot literally name them all off. (But...we didn't lose our lives!!)
Six people's belongings.
We literally made go bags and left.

Thank you to everyone that's been there for our family!
If you could please help and/or share this gofundme, we would be extremely beyond grateful!
