Help Rose and Gretta rebuild after apartment fire

Donation protected

Early Monday morning Rose and my apartment caught on fire because of a serial arsonist. They set the dumpster behind our building on fire, which ignited the transformer and caused a huge electrical fire.

Everyone and all the pets from the building got out safe, but have no home to return to. We left with nothing but the clothes we were wearing and my cat, no shoes, glasses, or medications. We were let back in midday Monday to get our glasses and some clothes.

Unfortunately our unit suffered smoke damage and the back of the building has burnt and will need lots of repairs. The smoke damage has ruined lots of our belongings, we don't have the money to replace most of it. We will both need new mattresses and bed frames, lots of other furniture, kitchen items, clothing, and I will need to replace all of my cats things. We are very glad to have gotten out in time and we are all safe, but we don't have the savings to rebuild immediately. If you are able, we would both greatly appreciate any financial support you can give to help us get back on our feet and start rebuilding our lives.
