“Hi, my name is Cindy, and I am trying to help my best friend, Amanda and her family as on the night of June 16th a car drove through the front of her house and exploded, causing her rental home to catch fire and lose everything! She is a single parent with 4. Her children are 14, 13, 12, and 8. Any donations would be greatly appreciated as she did not have rental insurance and will need to find a new home and start rebuilding her’s and her family’s lives!”
