Mid morning on July 10th, I experienced something that always terrified me... a fire in my home. I was not at home but at a doctors appointment in the middle of a procedure that I could not just stop in the middle of. Not that my presence could have made any of this easier to process. It is being investigated, which I was told there would not be any information for the next 2 - 3 weeks. I do have renters insurance but that won't be able to processed completely until the investigation is completed. I also don't know how much they will be able to help because I didn't have photos of my items before they were destroyed. A lesson learned. I was informed by my property manager that the owner does not have any insurance on the unit. My unit is classified as a complete loss. As I write this I am still in shock and experiencing quite a bit of disconnect. Here's where I need your help, I have the immediate need of securing a new accommodation. I will need just the things necessary for every day living and self care as well as replacing specifically my work clothes and shoes. I have the most difficult time asking for help, but I know this is something I can't really handle on my own. If you can help in any way, it will be appreciated more than you could ever know.

As I come up on a week post fire, I am still numb. Losing the things that held sentimental importance to me is a shock. I am still trying to find my footing. I try to stay positive but it is challenging. Thank you again for your help and support.

Thank you to those who have already helped. Your support means more than you can know. There is so much to think about as you start over from almost nothing.

My main concern was getting shelter. I have done that. Now it’s just all the details that I hadn’t considered initially. Groceries, Pots and pans to cook with dishes to eat with. Trash cans. towel racks bedding, etc. The clothing aspect and probably one of the most important things medications. I’m taking it day by day. Monitoring physical symptoms as I keep myself in check.
