Help Family of 9 Rebuilding After Fire
Donation protected
My sister and her 7 children lost everything in an overnight house fire early on 12/12/20. By the grace of God, my sister, her husband, all the children, 3 cats, and 2 dogs were successfully rescued from the fire suffering only minor injuries. Today they begin the slow process of re-building their lives.
The electrical fire started around 1:00am in the younger children's room (7 and 9 year old) and quickly spread through the house. The two young boys notified their mother around 1:00am that their room was on fire! My sister quickly gathered the children and the pets to take them outside to safety while her husband attempted to extinguish the fire. Because of their quick response no one and no pets were seriously injured.
Unfortunately, they lost everything in the fire including; clothes, shoes, computers, prescription eyeglasses, school textbooks, beds, gaming systems, etc. Even Santa's gifts were not so fortunate to survive the fire!
How You Can Help
My sisters, parents, and I are currently helping my sister by providing temporary housing and food. We are also trying to help with the necessities. However, with so much LOST it is a task too large for us to take on ourselves.
We are asking our community to help us raise money to buy this family of 9 at least clothes, shoes, prescription glasses (8 pairs!!), and computers for school. Any additional money will be used to try to restore these children's Christmas so that they each have at least 1 gift from Santa this year. Finally, monies will be used towards helping rebuild their home.
This family works in the restaurant industry and were already struggling due to COVID. This unfortunate accident has propelled them into a situation that is impossible to overcome without the generosity of the community.
Our family appreciates any level of contribution. If you are not in the position to help financially (we understand COVID has hit most of us hard), please help spread the word.
To help get the word out, you can share the link to your Facebook Timeline, Share on Instagram, or share through good old fashion word of mouth.
God Bless You All!
