Kinney Family Needs Help After Fire Loss

Hi! My name is Kylee and I am one of Drew's sisters.

One week ago (February 27th), Drew, Angela, and their three boy's home caught fire and has left the family displaced. The impact from the fire, smoke, and water that put out the fire is huge. I walked inside the house with Drew the day it happened and it’s a literal miracle no one was hurt or worse. The damage is nothing quick to recover from.

That being said, would you consider helping the Kinney family out with recovering from this unexpected tragedy?

Thank you!

Below is a post Drew made last week after the event occurred:

I really don't want to make this post. If you know Angela and I you'd know we hate to ask for help from anyone.

On Thursday around noon our house caught fire, from a fan motor throwing a bearing or shorting out in the central heat and air unit upstairs. Luckily no one was home at the time of the fire and two alert neighbors saw the smoke and contacted the fire department and us. Many thanks to Rob Martin and Ron Curtis for your quick response. If it wasn't for these great men it would have been much worse.

Unfortunately, we lost, Snape, one of our cats, Pikachu and Beep two of our cockatiels due to the smoke. Currently the house is not liveable and we will be staying with Janet Elias Crawford until we can return home in a few months, hopefully.

The quick response of Bartlesville Professional Firefighters Local 200 and Bartlesville Police Department our other pets were saved and the fire damage was catastrophic but not a complete loss. Thank you to the men and women of these departments for your immediate actions and response.

I unintentionally let our renters insurance lapse in the past year, not even realizing I had, making matters worse. Most of our equipment, tools, and supplies we used for our small business, which we occasionally make craft items for friends and family were destroyed or melted. Current estimates of $20,000 to $30,000 which will probably grow as we enter our home and start getting our belongings that can be salvaged.

We appreciate all the prayers and well wishes as we navigate this terrible situation. We keep hoping we will wake up from a bad dream.

Many people have asked how they could help. Prayers and positive thoughts for our family are always welcome.
