Support Erica's Family After Tragic House Fire
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Carmen and I am Erica’s aunt. My niece who is a young 38 year old grandma has suffered an unimaginable tragedy. She was not only a devoted and active grandmother to her 3 young grandbabies, Jayden, Xander, and Kayden. Erica, along with the children's mother and father, lived together in her home, where Erica built a loving and safe space for her family.
A devastating house fire tore through her home, destroying everything she worked hard for and claiming the lives of two of her precious grandbabies. Everything was taken from her.. Her surviving 2-year-old grandson, Kayden is now in critical condition, fighting for his life.
When the fire started, Erica was in the shower. Erica rushed downstairs as soon as she smelled the smoke, but smoke burned her eyes and filled her lungs, making it impossible for her to see or breathe. She crawled desperately trying to reach her grandbabies as she heard their cries.. but she was only able to save one. The pain of knowing she couldn’t save them all is unbearable.
Along with the loss of her grandbabies, Erica also lost her home, all of her belongings, and even her beloved pets. She is left with nothing but heartbreak. Now, she is facing the overwhelming burden medical bills, the loss of her home and everything inside it while mourning an unimaginable loss..
I am asking, from the depths of my heart, for any support you can offer whether through donations, prayers, or simply sharing her story. Please keep Erica and her family in your thoughts and prayers during this devastating time. ♥️
