Hello everyone,

My family of six are reaching out in times of need. Last night (10/05/24), our home off of 144th St and the railroad in East Chicago set on fire. The severity of the fire took the fire department nearly 4-5 hours to control. We are grateful that our family is still alive, but we lost three of our cats in the fire. Everything we owned in our house are barely salvageable and not accessible due to the severe, unsafe pollution and burns. ANYTHING would be appreciated for donation. I am reachable at if there are any other forms of donations such as clothing and supplies. Thank you kindly in advance.
