Fire leaves family homeless

Donation protected
My son is a Correctional officer with the State of Florida.  He and his wife, Sarah, were shopping in Home Depot when they received a phone call that their mobile home was on fire. The two younger children were at home but got out safely,  apparently the fire started when their neighbor's shed caught on fire. The dog made it out but unfortunately the cat did not. The neighbors tried to put out the fire with hoses until the fire department arrived.

Scott, Sarah, and their 3 children have lost everything.  Jonathan is the oldest and was born with a missing right arm below the elbow.  That has not stopped this determined 19 year old young man.   He works for his Uncle Tommy as a mechanic  and drives a stick shift truck that his uncle adapted so that he can shift with his nub.

Nate is 15 years old and enjoys playing the guitar. He will be forever grateful to his neighbor, Matt, despite being told to back away, rescued his guitar and amplifier from the fire.

Zach is 12 and has autism but is doing very well thanks to the support of his parents and especially his brothers.  He has an amazing sense of humor and has been reading since the age of three. 

Our goal is to return this family to a home and back to a somewhat normal life - as normal as it can be with 3 growing boys.

I might add that Florida Correctional Offficers have only had 1 raise in 10 years

Anything you ccan do to help this family will be greatly appreciated.
