Amber Walsh & Family House Fire
Donation protected
Amber Walsh is one of the strongest, most kind-hearted and giving people I know. She's had a rough couple years but she continues to make the absolute best out of it. Amber is someone who rarely asks for help, but friends, she really needs it right now.
Just as Amber was beginning to feel fully recovered from two kidney surgeries, her house caught fire on December 1. Thankfully, Amber's two daughters weren't home at the time. She was able to get the dogs outside to safety but lost two family cats. Amber also spent a couple of hours in the hospital for smoke inhalation.
The house is still standing, but the news isn't good. The fire started in the garage before spreading to the attic and filling the house with smoke. The firefighters had to punch holes in the ceilings of every room to ensure the flames were out, so the house is no longer structurally sound or safe to occupy. Amber and her girls will have to be displaced for a long while.
We're still not sure how many of their belongings can be saved. Everything is currently covered in a layer of soot. At best, Amber will have to replace all three mattresses, some furniture, clothes, and other personal belongings. But some things can never be replaced.
Amber left her house with nothing but the clothes on her back, a pair of boots and her glasses. Her daughters have about a week's worth of clothes from their Thanksgiving stay with family.
Anything Amber had planned for December and the holidays is up in the air because of this fire. I know budgets are tight during the season, but please consider donating so we can give Amber and her kids some feelings of normalcy during this time.
