Granny's Home Lost in Fire

We are raising funds for an 86-year old widow that lost her home of 30+ years to a devastating fire. Everything, including her purse, was in the house when she needed to evacuate. 

Sarah Swiecki, known to everyone as Sally, was sitting in her living room watching television when she smelled smoke. She went to investigate and saw smoke and flames. She immediately called 911, and when the dispatcher asked her to remain on the line she emphatically told them “No way!” She was on a landline and had to get her car off the property. It took less than 45 minutes for the home to be entirely consumed.

We will use the funds to cover any immediate expenses that the insurance company will not cover. We are unsure what's next for Sally's long-term housing however we know that any home she moves into will need to have everything she lost replaced. 

For more information on the fire and Sally's unbreakable spirit, please read the following articles:
