Rita Bonilla and Family House Fire
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Anna Mcdonald; on Dec 1st, 2022, I received a phone call from Rita, my sister, with the bad news her house was on fire. Rita is one month shy of her 78 birthday and shares her home with her Son, Joe, who is waiting on a life-threatening operation, and her daughter Gloria, who has been caring for them both. As there were getting ready for bed, they smelled burning and had the heating on most of the night; it wasn't until they saw smoke that they called 911. Luckily this happened before they went to sleep. The fire department arrived as they got their dogs out of the house. The house had an Electrical fire in the attic. They were lucky to escape with no one injured; however, they lost most of their belongings. The roof caved in, and most of the house sustained water and smoke damage. Please, I know times are hard for everyone, but please consider helping Rita and her family reestablish themselves since they did not have rental insurance, which lessened their financial hardship. Your funds will help them find a place to live and buy lost personal belongings. Thank you for your kindness
