    I want to thank everyone who has been so kind to us during our disaster. Everything and everyone has been so helpful.

  • greatabyssverified member icon 17 months ago

    The fire was not from a microwave , it was from old faulty electrical wiring that was never fixed properly by the owner.

  • cherishteddieverified member icon 17 months ago

    Glad you have received some help already.

    Please look into renter's insurance it is really pennies on the dollar to replace what was lost.

    Thankful your family made it out safe, scary all this from a bad microwave.

  • siobhan32 17 months ago

    Glad the box of Old Navy clothing made it! I will pray that you receive everything else you need for the house. Also, check out Habitat for Humanity if they have a ReStore near you.

    I need to correct the previous post, not just the children but the size you need for your bed also. Guess it's been a long day. Sorry!

  • GrandmaX2verified member icon Wish Upon A Hero Founation Gold Member 17 months ago

    Can you post what size bedding you are needing for the children? I have a brand new set of twin sheets (blue clouds you can have it that would work). Thanks! And continued prayers PM your address if you can use them.

    Thank-you Siobhan32 and Wish Upon A Hero Foundation! We are in great need right now and yous have been wonderful heros. We found a new house and have collected some clothing for our children. Now we just have to work on replacing everyday items like appliances, furniture, beds, dishes etc. We were blessed to receive 3 mattress sets and a couch from the local Salvation Army resale store. We are just taking things one day at a time and trying to help our children recover emotionally. I want to thank everybody for their blessings. We have a long road ahead of us. The hardest part is seeing my husband and children so sad. I just can't wait until we are in our new home so hopefully they will begin to adjust and relax. I was scared when I thought my husband and two youngest didn't get out, but was overjoyed to find them okay.Thank-you everyone for everything.

    I mailed a rather large box of mostly new (some gently used) clothing on Saturday. Old Navy was having a sale. Hope everything fits!
