House fire; mother and 3 children left with nothin

Donation protected
My name is Stephanie,  I am trying to help my mother who just moved 3.5 hours away to Perth, Ontario with no family around! January 3rd, 1 AM, my 9 year old brother wakes my mother up from a weird smell in the house. This smell was looked at by a propane company for her electric fire place just days before because the smell concerned my mom. The employee informed her he found a rat's nest but nothing to be alarmed about, everything was fine. Taking us back to today, January 3rd, the day that left my mother and 3 young siblings homeless, and with just the clothes on their back. After my brother woke her, she told him to go back to bed it should just go away like the other night,  it didn't,  it got stronger. My mother then asked my 6 year old sister to open the window,  within a minute the fire alarm went off. She went downstairs to find the back of her home engulfed in flames. Screaming for the kids to evacuate the house, one naked, one screaming so loud the neighbours 2 doors down were woken. This was her first house she bought, she lived there less than 6 months before she was left with nothing. 

My brother is high functioning autistic,  so this was extremely traumatic for him losing his cat in the fire (snuggles, he called her bumbum) his security blanket and his drums. My family has nothing left and I am looking for a little assistance for them to replace Christmas gifts, buy new clothes, toys, rent an apartment or house until they figure out the house situation and dont have to stay in a hotel for 6 months. In times like this, it takes a village and slowly they will rebuild but unfortunately a fur babys life was lost and pictures are destroyed with no way of replacing them; the only thing that matters today, right now, is that my family is alive! My little brother is a hero and he doesn't even know it. 

Thank you for taking the time to read through and any help you could contribute towards helping a single mother trying her damndest to give them the world when her life was just literally sent up in flames would be so appreciated!
