Recover after a house fire

Donation protected
Everything started at 12:30 after a Christmas dinner we had, my children received gifts and we were ready to go to sleep when we heard the chimney was throwing sparks and heard an explosion and when we came to realize the smoke was filling the room. We worried because we thought our 7 year old child was in his room sleeping, so then I got hysterical when I saw the smoke coming out of my room and I started screaming as I was trying to find my two children. I ran outside screaming for help but it was late at night and no neighbors seemed to be around. However a neighbor finally came to our rescue. I was screaming but thankfully my child had already made his way out of the house but in my anguish I hadn't seen him. My husband broke the window in my childrens room so that the fire could escape the house through it while i was looking for my sons. When we realized both of our children were outside we were able to get out of the house. Everything was lost, our clothes, our childrens christmas gifts, everything. We werent able to get anything out just one cellphone because my son grabbed it to call for help. Its horrible to see all your belongings leaving in seconds and knowing you dont have a way to recover them. Whatever you feel in your heart to help would be a great help in this difficult time. We truly appreciate your help and your desire to help us.
