Family loses everything in Christmas eve fire !

Hello,
My name is Deborah Perry, and I'm writing this on behalf of my daughter, Sharese, and my grandaughter. In the early morning hours of Christmas Eve, what should have been a wonderful family time turned into a tragedy. My daughter, and granddaughter were asleep in their beds when they were alerted to a fire in the apartment building where they lived in the Roxbury section of Boston. My grandson luckily was not home at the time. Fortunately, they were awakened by the pounding knock of a neighbor. Dazed and dressed only in their night clothes, my daughter, who lived on the first floor, was able to get her family out of the building to safety. The tenant on the top floor perished, and two others were taken to the hospital in critical condition. Though my daughter and grandchild escaped with their lives - a true Christmas blessing, they lost everything they owned. To make matters worse, my ex-husband and daughter’s father had died just a few days before Christmas. We are traumatized by this terrible turn of events. This is something you only read about, not something that happens to you.
Anything you could do to help my daughter get back on her feet at this difficult time would be deeply appreciated. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
