House Fire Destroys Family's Home
Donation protected
Arthur and Erin Martel along with their two daughters Josie(8) and Maggie(3) and their dog Jack lost everything today.
While Josie was at school, fire broke out in the garage of their home. Arthur, Erin, Maggie and their dog Jack escaped the flames with just the clothes on their backs. The fire shortly engulfed the whole house and it was a total loss. Arthur was standing in the street with bare feet while he and Erin held each other and cried as they watched everything they had go up in smoke.
Even the family car which was parked in front of the house will be totaled and while his truck was parked further away, all the keys were in the house so they really have NOTHING.
This was a rental house and without renter’s insurance nothing in their home will be covered.
Both Arthur and Erin both have served in the Army overseas.
Time is of the essence as they immediately need spending money and clothes and a place to live and well, - everything.
Please give generously as we come together as a community to support them and get them back on their feet.
