Loses Everything In a Tragic Fire
On Monday, February 15, 2021, my Mom had no water, heat, or electricity due to the power outages that occurred in Houston Texas. She had been in her home for over two days under the extreme winter storm weather conditions, where the temperature inside the home dipped below 45 degrees. Trying to get warm in her home and generate heat, she called her friend Steve over to help her light her fireplace.
While trying to get the fireplace lit, an unfortunate accident happened. An explosion occurred which resulted in her friend's body catching on fire. With flames everywhere inside the home, my Mom was able to guide him out of the house and frantically call for help. Her friend unfortunately sustained 3rd and 4th degree burns on over 65-70% of his body. Furthermore while fighting for his life, Steve has had to have five surgeries, with two more scheduled this week.
While making sure her friend is ok has been my Mom's main focus, we as a family are still grieving for the loss of our Brother/Son who died less than six months ago. During this tragedy, my Mom lost everything she owned in her home, including all of the memorabilia of her son which were burnt up in the fire. As a result of the fire damage, her house is now uninhabitable.
We ask that you please continue to pray for Mom's friend who is continuing to fight for his life, while also praying for my Mom who is mourning the loss of a son that died less than six months ago, and is also homeless with only the clothes on her back.
It would be a blessing if anyone could find it in their heart to donate to this fund to help Marlo have a place to stay, and day-to-day expenses so that she does not have to worry about these things all while focusing on her friend who has a long road to recovery. Thank you for all the prayers and donations.
Love,
Dominique
