House fire burns the holidays

The day before Thanksgiving the Rawls house burn down. A single mother and her four children stayed there.Felicia, the mother was out Thanksgiving shopping when she received a phone call from her daughter saying the house had just burn down after a grease incident. She rushed home to see if her children was alright,when she got there they were standing outside. Felicia was so hurt because all she could think about was all their things including clothes,shoes,washing machine,and many more things had been destroyed.She had just bought the washing machine and did not get to use it because it was in the fire. Felicia lived off a small income and child support. She began looking for another house and found one that was suitable for her family for 1200 a month and that was too much for her because she didn't have a job. She was just living off the little money she had. Felicia daughter went to a public school and many people heard about the incident and donated many things to the family from the staffs to the janitors.The family was very thankful for the items although the things they really wanted was destroyed.The children lost all their toys for Christmas in the fire but they wasn't really worried too much about that, they just wanted clothes and shoes. The only thing that wasn't destroyed was the children bikes and they loaded them on their mother pick up truck. They are now living with relatives until they find another home.
