House fire donations for the Day family

On Tuesday, June 18th around 6:00 pm a house fire started at my brother Marshall's house.  Our family was at The Dance Studio of Fresno annual dance recital watching my beautiful nieces when we were notified by the Ring Doorbell app that there was something going on at their house. A neighbor came and rang the doorbell, which notified their phones.  Thankfully she had called the fire department immediately when she saw smoke pouring out of the vents in the roof. We watched on the app what was happening and when we saw fire trucks arriving in the front yard we immediately left the recital to race home. As Marshall arrived at the house, the firemen were bringing their 2 pit bulls from the house. Both were unconscious when they arrived. They were able to revive the 11-year-old, Kaya. Their other dog, Kuma did not survive the smoke inhalation he endured in the house. My brother, nieces, and sister in law are absolutely devastated about losing their loving family dog. 
      The house fire started in the kitchen. The fire destroyed the whole kitchen and left the entire house covered in black soot. Everything smells absolutely horrible and most of the items in their house will be unusable. We were able to get some of their personal belongings out of the house yesterday.  Thankfully we were able to salvage some clothes, photo albums, jewelry, and a few special keepsakes. 
       We are asking for any size donations you are able to help my brother's family out to help cover the cost of hotels, first and last, months rent for a new place to live and any gift cards for eating out until they settle in somewhere new. Donations of items are also going to be greatly appreciated. We have never had to deal with a house fire, but I'm sure they will need everything replaced. Mattresses, sheets, toys, dishes, couches, TVs, all kitchen items... etc. 
     Our family has really shown what a family can do in any bad situation. We have jumped in to support Marshall, Jamie, Lilliann and Viviann in the horrible time, and we greatly appreciate any support you are able to give.
