Granddaughter's mobile home was destroyed by fire.
Donation protected
My Granddaughter Shelby's mobile home caught fire and was destroyed on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 22, 2018. It was home to her and my five year old Great Granddaughter. She did not have any insurance.
They have to stay with my Daughter and Son-in-law temporarily until she can manage to get the burned out mobile home hauled away and buy another mobile home and get it set up on the property. She'll need a pad poured. She will also have to buy a new electric meter.
People have donated clothes and necessities but she really needs another mobile home for her and her daughter. My daughter owns the property so they can put it where the burned mobile home sat.
Shelby works but can barely make ends meet as it is. The destroyed mobile home was an old one that was given to her a couple of years ago and set up next to my Daughter's house.
Shelby doesn't have any money to buy another mobile home. She is a single mother trying raise a daughter alone. She has a job that doesn't pay a lot of money. They live in a rural area and there aren't a lot of jobs down here. My Daughter and Son-in-law aren't in a position where they can help financially.
If she can get another mobile home, she can make it ok. We have all pitched in what we can to help her but buying her a mobile home is out of our reach, too.
Shelby lost all of her and Midori's possessions except for a few things she had at my daughter's house. Things like her furniture, appliances, laptop, TV, kitchen stuff and most of their clothes are lost to the fire. What didn't burn is heavily smoke and water damaged.
It brings tears to my eyes when my Great Granddaughter Dori hugs me so tight and says, "Grandpa. My comooter burned." Dori had a tablet to watch videos and play games. She lost her favorite stuffed animal dog she used to carry around.
My Granddaughter has nothing left of her childhood but memories now. All her pictures, mementos, and personal things are all gone.
I wish we could more than we're already doing but it's already been quite a strain on all of us and emotionally devastating a well.
