“Their friends and family are thankful both are safe. However, no possessions could be salvaged as everything was lost in the fire, leaving them with only the clothes they had on,” the fundraiser states.
“It is going to take time for them to rebuild their lives.”
The cause of the blaze is still undetermined and an investigation is ongoing.
