The Fire...

The pictures that I took are from the fire and the living room, which I would have to say took the most damage. It's like something that came from a movie, so unreal to think that it happened to our family. It looks alot worse in person, and the smell is unbearable. We would like to thank all of our family and friends for the donations and help that we recieved. It's times like this that we needed you most and you were all there for us. Sincerely and from the bottom of our hearts we THANK YOU. Thank you to all the churches that donated toys, clothes, and gift cards. Thank you also to the American Red Cross that helped us find a place to live for a few months and also let us borrow furniture for our house. Thank you Michelle and Dan, for your time and use of your truck moving things into our house and getting situated. Thank you Pop and M for taking care of Makenzie for us during all this, and going shopping making sure that we had food to eat and clothes on our back, also offering us a place to stay. Thank you Mom for coming up to take care of Kaiden and I while we moved into our new house and got adjusted, and thanks for going shopping with me to buy all the necessities that we needed to make our house once again, a home. Words really cannot say how appreciative we are for everything that has been done for us. Once again, THANK YOU!
