Safe, but Devastated by fire at Christmas. PLEASE HELP
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Karen & I'm fund-raising for my daughter, daughter-in-law & their 2 beautiful babies, Makenna 21mths & Zander 7 wks.
Kirby & Jess, being a same sex couple, have spent a fortune on IVF, making their dream of a young family come true. But it has left them cash strapped & with debts.
As we all know, Christmas can be an extremely stressful time of year.
Unfortunately things sometimes happen to make it more stressful & unbearable.
Early Thursday evening while putting the babies to bed, Kirby realised a fire had started & taken hold in the garage, moving into the roof. Quickly grabbing both babies (Jess was not home) & her phone she evacuated the house & called 000. The fire brigade found a lawn mower battery had exploded & started the fire.
Unfortunately while the entire house hasn't burnt down, it is now uninhabitable & the majority of their possessions have been destroyed. They didn't have contents insurance.
At this time of year I know everyone is financially strained, but we'd all be extremely grateful if you could spare a few dollars to help this young family.
They need assistance with somewhere to live, household goods, clothing, personal items, etc. Anything you can spare will be much appreciated.
Thanks so much
Karen
