My parents house caught fire last night.

They’re all ok.

All their Christmas presents are gone though. Also ruins my sisters 18th birthday party in a couple days.

Hoping we can find them an Airbnb near my sisters school to get them through the holidays. Will be weird having Christmas in a strangers house.

I’m so sorry to hear that. As a former DAT member for the Red Cross, I know this can be a long road to recovery and an emotional roller coaster. I’m glad you’ll be able to spend time together as a family though - regardless of the location.

Do they have immediate housing? A list of any current meds that need replacing? Toiletries or other basics needed to get through the next couple days? Can we help in any way?

Thank you for the offer.

I have a vacation house a little over an hour away they are staying at until they can find someplace closer to work/school.

My mom already contacted their doctors regarding medication.

I think the hardest part so far is the emotional part for them.

Oh Shit. That is terrifying. Glad they are sage though.
