looking for a brighter tomorrow after a fire
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Jessica.
My husband Ron, our 4 year old Nephew Kelly and I are asking your help.
The past 6 years have been very difficult for our family. Ron has been diagnosed with leukemia, heart failure, kidney failure and severe arterial pulmonary hypertension. About a week ago, after getting home from a long night in the ER with Ron, we arrived home at the early hours of the morning and finally lay down to try to get some sleep. Minutes later we are woken by a loud knock on the door, followed by screams saying our backyard is on fire. We rush out to find the shed completely engulfed in flames. Ron managed to gain enough strength to help our friend hose the fire in hopes of keeping it from getting to our home. Unfortunately, the fire got the back side of our home, breaking windows, destroying walls, siding and electrical wiring.
Do to Ron's health expenses, we had been unable keep up with our home insurance. As you can imagine, our income has been extremely tight, barely having enough for health care, meds, food and bare necessities. Since this, an electrician has came out, but unfortunately more bad news came from this inspection. Due to the damage caused by the fire, our home has to be completely rewired. My husband, 4 year old Nephew and I have been staying in our home without power, water and gas since this took place. Our family is asking for assistance for the following; to pay the electrician, get a roll off dumpster for cleanup, and to repair the larger damage. This just to make our home liveable again. We are praying to get enough help financially to also pay for showers at the pilot, fuel for a generator that was lent to us, batteries for flashlights, etc.
Anything would be of great help.
Thank you all very much and may God bless you double-fold, specially during this Holiday season.
Sincerely,
Ron, Jessica, and Kelly
