Jake's immediate needs after severe fire damage

Jake Booher's house in Pigtown was condemned due to the damage of a gas explosion yesterday afternoon on Bayard Street. His house is directly adjacent to the one that is completely destroyed. Jake and his girlfriend were thankfully not in the house and are physically unharmed. Jake has been able to get a month-to-month rental nearby. Unfortunately, the City was supposed to board up the house, but looters got in first. Jake has been able to salvage some clothing. It is going to be a long uphill battle with the insurance company and BGE. Jake would be the first person to help a neighbor in need. Please contribute in any way you can.
