My house burn down I lost it all.
Donation protected
On behalf of my 88 year old grandmother Betty Hester and my mother Darlene Hester, I am requesting help to renovate the house that my grandmother has lived in for 85 years. And if that is impossible for them to move into a safe affordable home or apartment.
The house is located on 36 Auburn Street in Paterson NJ. It was set on fire on October 31st by drug addicts who were getting high in the alley next to my grandmother’s house.
If it hadn’t been for her dogs wildly barking to wake everyone up, both women would have perished in the blaze.
Ms. Hester has sought assistance from public service and the police to no avail.
When my grandmother called the police to inform them that the squatters had entered the house after the fire, found an undamaged credit card and other pertinent information and were using the card. She requested that the house be boarded up because not only dud the squatters steal her identity, they were also getting high in the already burnt out house.
The police department response was that the squatters are HOMELESS too and needed a place to stay too. My grandmother was devastated that nothing could be done to remove them from her beloved home.
At 88 years old my grandmother should not have to endure such trauma. She is not eating or sleeping from the stress of losing her childhood home that she had lived in for over three quarters of a century.
All my grandmother and mother want is a safe and affordable place to live. And to try to rebuild her house.
Our goal is $50,000 any donation is greatly appreciated and will go to securing an apartment,furniture and paying a contactor.
Thank you all in advance and on behalf of my grandmother and mother.
