Friday night tragedy struck when Sheree left to pick up her daughter Jordan (12 with CF) and a fire broke out in her son Stephen’s room. Sheree was only 5 minutes away when she got the call from Stephen. She quickly turned around but by the time she got back to the house it was a total loss. While she was driving back, Stephen was trying to save their beloved pets. He kept going back into the fire to get the animals. At one point two of their dogs grabbed Stephen and pulled him out of the house, they saved his life. Unfortunately they lost numerous beloved pets. Steve was working on the road during the time of the fire. We are so grateful that everyone is physically okay.  

This family lost everything in fire. They have no clothes, furniture or food.  Jordan has cystic fibrosis and lost her equipment that is an integral part of her health. This equipment and medication is very expensive and insurance is already trying to deny replacements.  

Here’s Sheree’s words from FB
So we had a fire on Friday we lost everything and 5 of our dogs my heart is broken my children and I made it out alive and I am so thankful if anyone can or would like to help any help is greatly appreciated even if it's just prayers. my children's sizes are Stephen: he is 14 his size 30× 30 pants and medium men's shirts size 9 shoes. My daughter is 12 and size extra small women's pants and shirts and size 4 girls shoes. I am not worried about me my I am only worried about the kids and my 2 surviving dogs.

Any money raised will go directly to purchase clothes and other essentials in maintaining a home.  The family had insurance on the house but not the personal belongings inside the house.  The insurance will not cover temporary housing either.
