MY BROTHER'S HOUSE BURNED DOWN.

PLEASE DONT SCROLL PAST

A car battery blew up in the garage setting the whole house on fire. My brother and his roommates are okay physically, thank God, but they need help, anything is appreciated.

PLEASE DONT SCROLL PAST

Even a reblog is appreciated.

Spread the link, donate if you can.

EDIT

Please note that I am not comfortable giving out any personal information for myself or family, with this said please don't dm or ask me if I'd like to get in contact with any third party for the gofundme campaign. I have been drowning in such messages and as well meaning you are the offers seem a bit sketchy when I get ten in a row all with similar wording.

We are keeping the direction of the campaign within family, but thank you for the concern in that regard.

That being said reblogs are incredibly appreciated if you cannot afford to donate, and thank you for your time.

Luna Park razed by fire, Coney Island, August 13, 1944. The next day, the afternoon paper PM had this to say:

"Our photographer climbed up on one of the big slides to get this general view of Luna Park, Coney Island, half of which was razed by fire Saturday afternoon. Arrow points to 'Dragon's gorge' where the blaze started. Loss was estimated at $500,000. When this picture was taken yesterday afternoon, firemen still were spraying the stray sparks in the ruins."

The entrance towers to Luna Park are on the upper left, the Wonder Wheel beyond. The 150-foot Wheel began operation in 1920. The fire destroyed more than half of Luna Park. Although some of the rides were repaired, wartime rationing of building supplies prevented a complete reconstruction. Instead, visitors could view the ruins for ten cents. Luna Park closed completely in 1946.

Heya folks. Unfortunately I have a bit of bad news from my end. On Friday, April 19th my apartment building caught on fire. Thankfully no one was seriously harmed but I can't say the same for the things people owned. The fire started next door to us on the bottom floor and crept its way up. We were alerted to the blaze at 2am and had to flee. We couldn't catch our cat in time before the smoke became too heavy but we are very lucky we found her later, terrified but alive. All four families, including ours, were displaced after the fire. Two apartments suffered intense damage while mine and the one below mine were spared the worst of it. However, the smoke damage was bad enough that it's deemed unfit to live in. We were only allowed in long enough to grab essentials and take a few pictures, but since then we've had to live in an extended stay hotel. Until the investigation into the cause of the fire is complete everything we own has to stay put.

Ironically, we were gearing up to move this upcoming Friday into a new place. We were in the process of packing but never got to finish. We'd planned our budget down to the dollar to afford the move but now we're stretched thin because of all of the unexpected expenses. While our renters insurance is meant to reimburse us for out of pocket costs we don't know how long that will take and our new place will be expecting upfront payment on the day of move-in, which has now been eaten into.

I've backspaced and rewritten this paragraph at least ten times. I'm not good at asking for help, in truth. I'm proud, stubborn, and I think I can fix everything. I can't fix this. We've never been in this situation before and uncertainty is my greatest enemy.

I understand everyone is under financial strain and if you aren't able to donate I'm entirely in your corner. If you are, a link to my ko-fi will be provided at the bottom of the post. A signal boost would be appreciated to help get the word out. All proceeds will go toward lodging, food, cleaning supplies, clothing and other expenses as a result of the fire. I greatly appreciate everyone and I hope this never happens again. I would love to have some positive news soon but for now all we can do is wait. Until then, thank you for your time and stay safe out there.

-Adrian

So, early Friday morning someone torched my best friend's campsite

We have been ride-or-die homies on the streets together for years, one of those people who is only homeless because they're TOO NICE to ask for any help for themselves, and now everything he owned is incinerated

I am collecting donations to start a recovery fund, an old man who stayed there was burned and ugently needs a new tent

I could also use a cigarette right about now, ngl...

Please consider donating, Thank you

I feel like it's a personal attack that I'm not immune to fire damage. 😤
