Miramar Family Aims to Rebuild After Devastating House Fire
A Miramar family is seeking to rebuild their lives after a devastating house fire tore through their home on Monday, just days before the holiday season.
The Fire and Its Aftermath
Henry Rodriguez, the owner of the home, recounted the traumatic experience of discovering the fire when he returned home with his two kids. “When I got home, I opened up the door, it was just pitch black,” he said. “I took my shirt off and tried to fan it and go inside, but all of that pressure was pushing me back.”
Losing Belongings and Pets
The family is still coming to terms with the loss of their home and two beloved pets, Mick and Sam, who did not survive the fire. “The hardest thing was hearing my two dogs crying,” Rodriguez said, fighting back tears.
Seeking Help and Support
The family is currently staying in a hotel, but they have no clothing and nothing for their kids. In a heartwarming display of community support, the Miramar Police Department and the Broward Sheriff’s Office dropped off presents for the holiday season.
GoFundMe Established for the Family
A GoFundMe has been set up to help the family rebuild and recover from this devastating loss. Donations are being accepted to support their efforts to get back on their feet.
Conclusion
The Rodriguez family’s story serves as a reminder of the importance of community support and the impact of devastating events on families. As they work to rebuild and recover, the community has come together to offer a helping hand.
