Finding Help After a Fire?

My house burned down two days ago. I didn't have insurance. I lost everything. Yes it hurts to lose all my material stuff, but the biggest loss was my little dog. I'm homeless and broken hearted. What do I do now?

I would contact a church... any church should help you even if you are not a member. The Salvation Army is one church that is famous for helping others. The American Red Cross will give you vouchers for buying clothing, etc. Once you get settled you might want to think of adopting another little dog. I understand they are not replaceable, but its always good to have a friend, I think. Don't buy a dog. There are many for free wishing for a home. Get advice from a pastor or priest. They will know what to do. I live in Pennsylvania..... if you are over 65, we have wonderful Dept of the Aging in each county. If you are younger, you will need to find a job and get to work. Good luck.

You don't say where you live - in a large city or small town? Ask for help from the Salvation Army, Catholic Charities and at your town hall, your church will help also. Good luck.

I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I had words to ease your pain. Please know that there are caring people on this site who are praying for you. The only idea I can come up with at the time is maybe you can visit a church in your area & explain your dilemma & ask for help.
