Malone Family Tragedy

My name is Jacquelin, I'm from MA. Recently my cousins Billy and Kate Malone and their children had suffered a great tragedy and lost everything. I have set up this account to aid their need for those who chose to contribute outside the MD area. All proceeds will be used for final services, medical expenses and rebuilding their lives and further will be released to Billy and Kate Malone as they are the primary beneficiaries of the campaign. Below is a link to the news coverage as well as my forth note of the events. I post the above statement as, unfortunately, there have been some absurd concerns and accusations made in regards to the validity of the fundraiser.

January 12, 2017
The morning we woke to find a terrible truth. A house fire was reported on the news in Baltimore, MD. The remains of the burnt and fallen home looked too familiar and the faces of the surviving children and mother gave us goose bumps. Six of my cousins had been missing from final count, while others lay in hospital beds in critical conditions an one untouched because he was at work. They say it started around 12:30am and no one knows for sure yet just how. What we do know so far is not at all a comfort.
The cost of recovery is far to high for one to afford both emotionally and financially.
I ask of you, please help my cousins. Donate what you can, anything is appreciated. Our goal is to aid with costs for the children, medical expenses for those who made it out of the fire and to put forth for shelter.
The last thing I ask of you is to tell your children you love them, tell you spouse you love them. Embrace your family. You never know when could be your last chance.
