Alright so my friend’s place burned to the ground, literally. The fire started in the flat above and spread. Everything is gone. I care about this person a lot and it’s incredibly lucky that nobody was killed.
Please support in any way you can. They’re very good people, I obviously wouldn’t ask otherwise. This person has been involved in projects I’ve been involved with for almost a decade now.

I can probably get alternative options if desired.
EDIT: I should add that they’re not expecting to get a new place for “up to 19months” according to insurance. Literally anything big or small is incredibly useful, this is an entire family.
$600 is more than I expected from here, genuinely really appreciated. It will absolutely help and be put to good use.
I remember being a kid not old enough to be in kindergarten and watching the house across the street burn down from my bedroom window. It was an old construction and pretty much all the firefighters did was keep it contained so it didn’t spread to the house to the left and right of it.
By the time the fire was “out” it just looked like a huge fire pit, nothing was standing. Nobody died though.
It was mildly unsettling walking around the place where a house was and finding the random thing that somehow didn’t get burned to nothing. I remember looking at a wooden spoon and being kind of amazed.
Good luck to your people!
I walked past a house on fire once at night. The whole family was out on the street in their pyjamas watching their lives go up in flames and what didn’t burn get destroyed by the fire hoses.
It was awful.
