Kloepper Homeless -Gas Explosion
Donation protected
My dad & stepmom's house exploded today...get this... while having work done to hook up the house to the water line... What? Yeah.. no joke... hooking up WATER ...and your house EXPLODES?
How the...
yeah... some how the gas line was pinched during
the process... and the plumber dug it up; evidently found the issue and fixed it... then he was in the process of just lighting the pilots...first the kitchen stove and then in the basement for the water heater...when it exploded!
Thank the Lord My Dad and the plumber made it out alive. My aunt said my dad's eyelashes are even singed... SO incredibly blessed to be alive. The house pets didn't make it. My stepmom was out of town on travel and is trying to get back currently.
The house was a two story house... it is completely gone. Their loved pets, keepsakes, all the pictures, all their clothing, the computers... gone. Dad has the work clothes on his back (singed too I'm sure) that he was working in and his cellphone. They lost EVERYTHING in literally a blink of an eye. Everything will have to be replaced.
I took a moment and looked at what I had on me right at that moment I heard the news... and then looked around my place.. and what if I lost everything in a blink of an eye and yeah a tv can be replaced, and the furniture, beds, sheets, towels, soap, toilet paper, food, washer, dryer, jewelry, oven, water heater, a/c, refrigerator, cabinets, sinks, lights, switches, tubs, showers, computers... the list is long... but they can't replace the pets, the memories, the keepsakes from loved ones who have passed on... so much is just gone forever. My prayers are with them and I'm so thankful for God sparing the lives of my dad and the plumber. But I know I can't even phathom what they are feeling right now having worked so hard for years... paycheck after paycheck to make the house a home. AS WE ALL DO... and in a blink all the countless hours, the money, all up in smoke. Hug your pets. Hug your family & friends for life is a blessing and tomorrow is not a guarantee.
Any; even the smallest help through this devastation would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity!
