Help recover from fire disaster

Donation protected
Complete loss from house fire to 3 story 6 bedroom home that belonged to my sister on the evening of January 17, 2019. A total of 10 family members resided there, 3 children and 7 adults. I have been getting a lot of individuals wanting to help in anyway they can. I have decided to create a go-fund-me account to raise as much money as possible to assist with necessities as everyone in the home has lost everything i.e. clothing, shoes etc. either due from the fire its self, smoke damage or water damage also to help began the rebuild process as her home owners insurance was not active at at the time of the fire due to contingency with the insurance company. My sister was working very hard to get the insurance active, unfortunately during this very short time frame a fire broke out in the room of my twin 11 y/o nephews located on the second floor due to a space heater catching a blanket on fire that was dangling from the bed. My nephew's quickly attempted to put the fire out by pouring water onto the burning portion of the blanket that quickly ignited spreading to the bed. The boys both ran to get help from an adult family member from the first floor. Within seconds the room was engulfed in flames, at this point everyone evacuated from the home as smoke quickly began to seep through every part of the house. 911 was immediately called by my aunt who resided there. An estimated amount of damage to the structure of the home is $50,000 with an estimated amount of $25,000 worth of property inside the home.
Currently I have taken in most of my family members, some adults have chosen to go to a hotel with assistance from American Red Cross for 1 week. 
As a family we will be grateful for any amount of donations, all will be very much appreciated.
