Yesterday was such a long day… and so scary. I was at the hospital all day & night and will be again today… and probably for a few more days at that.
As most locals of Berkeley Township may already know, a structure fire was reported very early yesterday morning around 6am . Well… that structure fire was my brother and sister in laws house up. The place was completely engulfed in flames & My brother, his fiancé, my two nephews and my nephews girlfriend lost everything they have.
E V E R Y T H I N G!
And now they have to rebuild their lives all over again, from scratch and with only the clothes on their back.
Those that were in the house made it out safe. however, my brother Steve, inhaled a lot of smoke that filled his lungs up pretty quickly. Enough to have him sedated and put on a ventilator. He’s now in ICU. They say he is in stable condition but after a CAT scan they saw that he had pneumonia (which explains his constant coughing and not feeling well in the last week or 2) and is also being treated for carbon monoxide in the lungs.
I want to thank everyone that has reached out to our family… for all the support and prayers. I ask that you please keep them coming because they need every bit of it as they figure out what to do next.
I have gotten many messages all day and all night with neighbors, friends, family and the community wanting to make clothing donations, household donations and money/gift cards donations. All are being accepted and so much appreciated. Thank you all so much for all of the support.
A GoFundMe has been set up on behalf of my brother and his family… and the hunt for a new home will start today. Please reach out to my sister, Donna or myself if you are interested in making a donation or just click the link below!! ??????

If any of my realtor friends know of any inexpensive homes for rent without an immediate security deposit, please let me know.
As of right now, I am not answering any personal questions… so please do not ask. Just keep praying for my brother and his family during this time & respect their privacy.
Thank you all again in advance… each and every last one of you are very much appreciated. ❤️
