Hello everyone on September 10th, at around 8:20pm I experienced a mom's worst nightmare; A fire where my kids and I lost almost everything on parts of our apartment like the living room, hallway and parts of the bedroom. On the other part my neighbor lost everything including his two dogs. I will donate half of this to him; thankfully our faith is strong and God has saved us from something worst. Mentally and financially this has added a great burden to me as a single mom of three. I was in the kitchen making dinner when I was alerted by the fire alarm. I immediately opened the door to see where the fire was coming from and I started knocking on everyone's door. I confirm there was in fact a fire and rushed back in the apartment to bring my kids into safety. I immediately asked my kids to grab their book bags and put a change of clothes, I grabbed their documents, and asked my uncle who was home to please evacuate and take the kids outside. I was so nervous my daughter Eden kept saying mom Silver, mom Silver; Silver is our family cat, who was an angel and ran down to the apartment trying to help save my neighbors two dogs; unfortunately the dogs didn't make it. When I say this was my worst nightmare I meant it from my heart because I have been years dealing with my son having a fear of experiencing a real fire. Every time an alarm would go off, my son Brayden would become hysterical and would have panic attacks and I had to provide him with the emotional support and remind him that everything would be alright. You can only imagine how my son’s heart was at that moment, it was very difficult to see. I continued by alerting my neighbors on the 4th floor and then I ran back down to the 3rd floor where I see smoke coming up, then I realized is the apartment right beneath us. I immediately called 911 and they dispatched the fire department immediately. It is with great humility and sensitivity that I am asking for any contribution possible for my neighbor, my kids and I. Anything will be greatly appreciated, primarily we are seeking the financing to be able to relocate temporary. My neighbor needs a new place, clothes and furniture. Thank you.
