House Lost in Fire-Support Ericka Flores & Family
Donation protected
It is devastating to share that Ericka, her mom, and her sister Flor lost their home and all of their belongings to a tragic house fire. This past Saturday, Jan. 19th at around 7:45am, Ericka and her mom were awakened by the smell of smoke coming from her mom's room. 911- fire and medical services were contacted immediately. The fire was caused by an electrical shortage. Ericka made an attempt to minimize the fire but it began to spread rapidly, leaving her and her mom with no choice but to evacuate instantly.
Both her and her mom inhaled smoke from the fire, and shortly after evacuating, Ericka's mom had a panic attack and collapsed right outside their home, she was taken to the hospital immediately. It is a blessing to say that no one was injured and they are extremely grateful for the support from the firefighters and paramedics. The fire was safely put out. Unfortunately, all of their belongings including clothes, pictures, shoes, personal items, appliances, furniture, food and everything dear to them were lost.
As some of you know, the Flores family recently lost their brother, Bryan. Bryan was terminally ill but fulfilled his lifelong dream to become an officer and was sworn-in days before his passing as honorary Deputy Sheriff. All of Bryan's belongings and memories his family was still cherishing were completely destroyed in the fire. This was heartbreaking news for the family.
Aside from the emotional, mental and physical distress this tragedy brings, it also brings tremendous financial hardships. We ask that you find it in your hearts to make a donation and help this family rebuild their lives. Anything, no matter how big or small is greatly appreciated. Please share with family, friends, co-workers and help us spread the word.
