it could've been worse.

today my brother in law's house burned down.

gutted.

my nieces lost everything.

no insurance.

they have no clothing.

tears when I saw the soggy art supplies I had just bought them for christmas.

more tears when I saw their artwork was destroyed.

a neighborhood mobilized to help a family in need.

I can't stop shaking.

but, nobody was hurt.


it DEFINITELY could've been worse.

They are good people and good people will help them rebuild.

Whatever it takes.

Holy shit.

They are okay, right?

Is there a place people can send clothing, toiletries etc?
