Tina & Denise's Fire Relief Fund

Donation protected
This morning, October 7th, 2019, my sister Tina Loureiro and her friend Denise Araujo's house caught on fire.  

If you know these two, they have been working on this house for almost a year. They have been remodeling and putting in their own labor, day and night with only the assistance of family.  This morning so much of it went up in flames... It's devastating to see all the loss.

Tina and Denise were at work in Newport and got the call that their home was on fire.  The police and fire department had already arrived at the house.  It took a while, but the fire department was able to extinguish the smoke and fire.  Apparently it started in the garage and spread into part of the house.  The animals all ran into the basement to avoid the smoke and were rescued by the firefighters.  They are now in the animal hospital on oxygen.  

They were already so tight financially after putting everything they had into the house remodel.  They will need help with the animal hospital bills, sheltering the animals, replacing basics like clothing, and all that was stored in the garage.  They stored so much in their garage like food, tools, clothes, bedding, electronics, old photos, childhood items, bikes, kayaks, exercise equipment, firewood, and more.  It's all gone. Also, they have no electric at this point so all food has spoiled.  They have made temporary arrangements to stay with family, but without electric it could be a while before they can get back to living in the house.  

Tina and Denise lost a lot in the fire.  If anyone is able to assist with any little amount, please pitch in.  We are all devastated and heartbroken for them.  They are two of the kindest, sweetest, most well-meaning people you will ever meet. Please consider helping them rebuild.  It is so much appreciated for anything you can do.
