Parent's House Burnt Down Today

[Joe_K]

My folks place burnt to the ground today in rural Ohio. No one was injured.
We, (myself, my siblings, and parents) built the house in 2002-2003. Everything is gone. Family Bible, Mom's wedding dress, photo albums, hard drives, documents, clothes, musical instruments, tools, firearms, books, the family cat. The fire started in the garage and took everything in less than 20 minutes. Multiple rural and township fire departments showed up. Thank God the only ones home was my Mom and youngest brother. Mom was doing yardwork outside and smelled smoke, she ran inside grabbed my brother, the dog, her purse, keys, and phone and got as far away as possible. Took first responders about 15 minutes to arrive on scene.

I would appreciate prayer for my folks, especially my Mom, she's been through quite a bit the last couple of years, and has had some serious health problems.

So sorry. Your mom sounds like a strong lady. Best thoughts to your family.

I can tell you from experience, most things can be replaced. The main thing is everyone is safe. We lost our house and just about every thing in the late 90s. Prayers sent.

Sorry to hear about the tragedy. while most things can be replaced, going through the process must be emotionally and physically draining.

Prayers sent. that's horrible, but glad your Mom and Brother made it out ok.

Do/will you have a gofundme set up? Would like to do what I can to help...
