Today at 1:27 PM - We had some angels watching over us! 🙏

My aunt Amee is the backbone of our house, but today she was really struggling-dealing with dangerously high blood pressure and feeling sick. She got out of bed to let her dog out 😓🙏 That tiny moment saved us. She looked out and saw some smoke coming from the garage and decided to look once more, She saw flames.

We called 911 immediately. Because she caught it right then, all nine of us-my grandma, Aunt Amee, Chris and I, and our five little ones-made it out safe. (Fires are scary 😭)

The electrical system is gutted, and the yard is currently a mountain of hazardous, burnt debris. It’s just not safe for the kids to be out there, and with nine people in one house, things are overwhelming. Insurance will help eventually, but they don't help with the "right now."

I am trying to raise $5,000 to help my family catch a breath. This will go directly toward hauling away the dangerous mess in the yard, fixing the electrical "nerves" of the house, and making sure my aunt Amee and Grandma have exactly what they need to recover from the shock of today. 😮‍💨🤧
