Family homeless by drunk driver

Donation protected
At 5 am this Friday morning, while everyone was sleeping soundly, a drunk driver slammed into the front of Michelle's house going 60 mph. Everyone was awakened thinking the house had been hit by a bomb. Dad was sleeping on the couch which was on the wall that was hit and he was thrown with the couch into the wall on the opposite side of the room. He was cut up pretty badly, his shoulder is broken and his neck is badly damaged. The house has been boarded up, deemed unsafe to even be entered. In an instant they lost all of their belongings and their home. In an instant they are now homeless. Michelle is a single mom on disability with her own health issues. She is sweet and kind and spends literally all of her time helping others and trying to make ends meet. The family has suffered great loss in the past few months, losing several close family members. All of whom Michele lived through their illnesses with them. She drove to countless doctor's appointments, never left their side while they were in the hospital and held their hands while they passed away. She's just that kind of person. She has been heavily burdened and stretched emotionally beyond what anyone can bear and now this. She has literally lost everything except the clothes on their backs and has no money to put their life back together. And Monday morning life goes on ... She has kids to get to feed, cloth and get to school. She has to figure out how to find a place to live with no money for deposits or to replace clothes and food. They also have a beloved family dog.
Please consider helping Michelle and her family - even a little bit will help and hopefully we can help to restore their lives and rebuild their sense of security. If you have any items, food or even a bag of dog food, please message me. Let's get them back on their feet!
