This was my younger sister's home, On December 19th at 1am a fire broke out in the basement of their home, everyone got out safely but the fire destroyed the house and all of their belongings. As of right now Brittany is in the hospital due to an unknown ailment and the stress of the situation. Her fiancée Anthony and their 3 ½ year old baby Riane are currently staying in a hotel provided by Red Cross, Riane is a special needs child who was born with a rare disorder called Septo-Optic Dysplasia. Her optic nerves never formed properly, a small piece of her brain is absent and her pituitary gland is extremely small. She is developmentally behind by 12-15 months. She requires daily growth hormone shots to help her grow. Although the family has home owners insurance the money they will receive is much lower than what is needed to rebuild their home. At this time we are looking into all possible solutions to have the house rebuilt.

This is one of those threads that makes people (well, me anyways) feel so guilty that they don't really know how to respond. As an agnostic, stories like that really put a damper on a belief in a god. If I believed praying did anything, I would, but I don't. I wish your family the best and hope better times are in your future.

Damn yea thats a total loss.. Did they have insurance?

But anyway post a link when you make the account I would gladly gift a couple bucks...

If everyone could afford to donate a little bit then it would go a long way and give some joy to your sister and her family this xmas season.
Plus allow the little one to get some new toys!
