Helping My Daughter Angela Timper and boys

Donation protected

Hello everyone,

My name is Rick Piatt, and I got a startling call on Father's day morning! My daughter's house had caught fire in the middle of the night! She had just woken up and smelled smoke, went to investigate and looked out kitchen window and saw flames going up the backside of her home! About then the smoke alarms started going off! She ran down the hallway and got Connor outside, then ran downstairs to get Kyler up and out of the house! By that time flames had gotten up into the soffits and into the attic! They got out safely! Thank GOD! Found their 2 cats the next morning safe but scared and frightened as well!

Since the house has extensive smoke and water damages they were advised to not remove anything until the fire marshal released it. She's staying with a friend right now and the boys are with their Dad for the time being!

So she will need some help with getting some new clothes for her boys and herself. She's in a lawyers office so needs things on a professional level and some comfy clothing. Also will need to get food and toiletries as needed. It could be months before they're able to return to their home! We recently lost my wife (her mother), lost her best friend to diabetes and now this! Anything would help out for the meantime! I know she would greatly appreciate anything to help them out! I would as well and be forever grateful to you all!

Thank you!

Rick Piatt

UPDATE:
The fire Marshal determined it to be a accident. I suspect a firework got up next to the deck and foundation and smoldered until it caught fire. I'm grateful no one got hurt! Now the long process of recovery and rebuilding begins! 
Thank you to everyone that has reached out in some way! My daughter is a very strong woman but this almost put her over the edge. She's  holding up though bless her heart.
