Lost everything in a house fire

PLEASE HELP...anything at all will help them. They are in desperate need of donations right now. The insurance company has determined their home is a total loss. So now, more than ever, they are in desperate need of help. PLEASE HELP with this family's needs.


I am setting this up for a friend of mine. She lives with her parents, her two children, and grandson. On Sunday night/early Monday morning, her home caught on fire. Luckily, her autistic son woke up to the smell of smoke and ran across the street to have a neighbor call 911. Her parents are both in the hospital. The mom is in the ICU at a burn unit in Dallas, as she will be undergoing several surgeries. She has burns over much of her body. They lost everything. They do have insurance, but assistance from them is not coming fast enough, especially since the fire is being investigated. They have no clothes, toiletries, hygiene products, or food..... except what I was able to give them. I am on disability, and could not provide much. But it's a start. I scrounged up a little money to give them a hotel for a couple days, but I don't have anything more I can give to them. I am trying to raise money for her, her parents, her 2 children, and her grandson to be able to get the necessities they need, and money to pay for hotels until insurance puts them in temporary housing. But even then, they will still need necessities.


The following is a note from one of her children that lives with them........


As most of our family knows, my grandparents' house caught on fire on 7/27, and my grandma was pretty badly burned. She is in the ICU and fighting to recover as quickly as possible! But their house doesn’t look like it’s going to be saveable...


I have chosen to come on here and ask all of our friends and family for a little bit of help! My grandma is my whole world, and I want nothing more than for her to be able to make a full recovery and not have to have the stress of where she’s going to live after this horrible situation.


I would love to raise some money in hopes of finding something temporary for whenever this recovery process is over, as well as making sure everyone involved has everything they need! Anything helps, and we are all so incredibly grateful for everyone who has reached out and shown up to check on all of us. We love y'all so, so much!!


I honestly don't know what else I can say, other than this was devastating to them. The grandfather of my friend had built this home. I hope that God leads you to help this wonderful family that lost everything overnight


******Update****** Her mom is finally being moved from ICU. I was able to sell a few things to get them a room for another couple days. They could truly use your help. They still need money for clothes, gas, food, and lodging after Wednesday. The medical bills are also starting to get out of hand. PLEASE if you can give, I know this family will definitely appreciate it, and be forever grateful


*****UPDATE*****Insurance has provided temporary shelter for the next week. They are still in desperate need of money for clothes, hygiene products, food, gas, and medical expenses. Please, anything at all helps
