Home Lost to Fire Thanksgiving Day
Donation protected
My name is Diana Curry. I am raising funds for my brother's family.
The day after Thanksgiving 2016 my brother smelled smoke, he went looking for the smell. He heard a loud pop coming from the laundry room. He opened the door and it was already on fire.
He quickly got his family out of the house. He burned his hands and the top of his head trying to save the family dog. It was around 8:00pm when the fire started and the fire department arrived quickly.The home and all contents were lost to the fire.
My brother was renting a home for his family. He is 62 years old and living on his social security and odd jobs. He and his wife have an 8 year old child. His disabled sister in law lives with them.
Funds are needed immediately. They need to find a safe place to live close to where the child attends school. There will be many expenses ahead for them. They will need to replace beds and other household furniture. The bedding is needed as soon as possible.
They like the town where they live and do not want to move far.
Also important to know, they do not have savings to fall back on. The Oklahoma Red Cross have paid for a room at Motel 6 for one week starting 11/27/2016 so as you can see funds are needed as soon as possible.
No one in my family is wealthy enough to fund them completly in this time of need.
So that is why I am asking for your help.
We appreciate every bit of assistance for my brother and his family.
