Check to run into if y'all have a freecycle group in your area at www.freecycle.org and then post a asking telling people nearly the fire and the kinds of things he needs (include sizes for clothes). When people take washed this in our surface area they have gotten more than they could take ever used.

Freecyclers are the best friends to take! ;-) Also, the Scarlet Cross should be some other place to become for help for this kind of issue. They are there to assistance people who lost things due to a disaster.

Lots of fire departments have what they call a "burn out fund" that they apply to assistance people in this type of situation, giving them vouchers to use at local stores, groceries, etc. I would too contact local radio and newspapers, and give them a list of what is needed (sizes, etc) and your phone number to phone call. My sister-in-law'due south house burned to the ground several years ago and I asked the local radio station to run a story -- they were already covering the fire itself, only I asked them to add info virtually items needed and my proper name & telephone number to contact. People will open their hearts if they know well-nigh the situation!

Cheque with your burn section. The 1 in the boondocks where I live accepts donations, like stuff you would ordinarily give to Goodwill or Salvation Army. Then the goods are distributed to families that accept lost their belongings in a fire and have no fire insurance.

Where does your friend live?? Expert luck!

Red Cross is one possibility. Too, does your area have an "Info and REferral" phone line agency. That would be a adept place to call for referrals to any agency that could assistance.

Hello, I was looking on the net for this exact topic. Two days ago, my Ex-Step-Dad's house burned down and even though him and my mom are non married anymore, we've stayed close. We actually live right beyond the road from him. Anyway, he like the individual above is very caring and is always helping others. In fact, he helps others too much and goes without. He's so decorated taking care of family members and such that he didn't accept enough coin for butane this twelvemonth and was using electric heaters which may take been the cause of his house called-for down. I was the commencement on the scene and didn't see him anywhere outside. I just knew he was dead. It was so surreal and horrible. I tried getting into the house but information technology was but too hot and then I started yelling his name in the hopes that I could locate him and thank god he was outside hiding backside a tree. Ammunition was going off like crazy so I ran and hid backside the tree with him. I have never seen him and then sad in my life when I hugged him and he said "My firm is called-for down" It broke my heart. We have had our differences merely I do love the man and he would give anyone the shirt off of his back or his last ten dollars. He's a good man who deserves amend. He does have insurance thank goodness but let's confront it, it won't pay well-nigh equally much as is needed.

Thank you for all the great ideas and info. I'm disabled and maybe there'southward some way for me to offset upward some kind of national fund via the internet to help people who are the victim of house fires. It'due south so hard on people, especially at Christmas. I'm just and so happy that no one was hurt. His little dog woke him up and saved his life. Give thanks God for doggies. They truly are homo'southward all-time friend. Thanks everyone. I'll look up some of the ideas you'll gave. I'd as well like to find a way to give and to help others who have gone through this likewise.

Merry Christmas everyone. You'll be safe and take care.

This Human is someone that TRULY needs our aid... BUT, I wanted to let you know of a problem nosotros are having on the Seattle surface area's Craig's List web site...
There are several people out in that location scamming others... One is a gal who posts says she is a single female parent with "nothing" & needs a motorcar seat, baby furniture & baby clothes, etc... THEN, she logs on under a dissimilar name & SELLS the items that were donated to her!... The Nerve!
There is another person that says her h2o is being shut off & needs donations, But, if you suggest paying DIRECTLY to her h2o visitor, she comes up with all kinds of reasons it won't work & she wants greenbacks.

*** Delight don't become me wrong. I believe the primary reason we are put on this earth is to help others. Nosotros demand to be Giving, Helping, & Loving. Merely, why "throw pearls before swine"... Just employ your brain along with your heart & cheque that things on the internet are indeed what they seem.

---> Equally far a the human being who's house burned down, make sure he asks the Red Cantankerous for help. They sometimes volition set yous upwards in a motel & assist you lot with necessities until your homeowners insurance money comes through...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hither's several notes to others who take firm fires & have homeowners insurance:

Nosotros once had a burn down that destroyed 2 rooms in our home PLUS destroyed almost everything else with fume damage. The house was un-liveable! When you have a small or med size burn with smoke & water impairment, nearly people hire a company that specializes in cleaning upwards & hiring subcontractors to put in new Carpet & pigment the walls etc... and likewise cleaners, to make clean & prep the walls & cupboards etc for painting.

My advice: Keep a close middle on the people that come in to clean etc. They are getting paid a lot... & information technology's coming course a certain amount that the insurance says is to prepare your house support. If y'all tin can clean meliorate & quicker than they exercise, then you lot tin can practise information technology yourself & then use the money designated for them for something else, like peradventure to upgrade your carpet or whatever... Also, with us, they came in & collected my Sometime, ugly curtains (wjen I wasn't watching) and I got them dorsum several weeks subsequently, all neat, pressed & dry-cleaned... But, I HATED them & didn't desire them anymore, but, by that time, I had already paid for the cleaning! SHEESH! a total waste of money!

Also... Only give the visitor 1/3 tp one/2 the money designated for them by the insurance company up front... & 1/3 later (when you know they are doing good work) & the job is virtually complete. Make sure to proceed back at least 15% or more than until the very end. & yous are happy with the job & it's TOTALLY done!... The company I hired got paid in full a petty to quickly & failed to put in new lite switch plates & besides didn't install handles on my cupboards.... Fiddling things, to be sure, but, it's the primary... The job wasn't consummate!

Just, proceed your eyes on everything that's beingness done to fix your business firm up! This may exist difficult if you are staying at a hotel, so try to fix upwardly i room for you to stay in & a bathroom, or borrow or have the insurance company hire you a motorhome yous park up-front (instead of staying in the motel room)... This way you will be close by & can proceed your eye on things & brand certain they are done right. Some other example of my bug. The carpeting installer they hired spoke only Spanish & when using the "stretcher bar" to install my carpet, he poked holes all over the master bedroom walls... These had to be patched, & repainted AGAIN! (the walls had Simply been painted)... Well, if I wasn't there, who knows if information technology would have been fixed right away...

One concluding thing: Our insurance company didn't pay for new furniture (they had inverse the policy when my mom moved out) & the storage of the one-time, smoke-filled, would have cost a fortune!... So we had three huge, garage sales & sold EVERYTHING!... This way, we had to put simply a few things into storage, which saved us a WHOLE lot of money! Then, you lot'll have to counterbalance things out: Would it cost more to shop your things, than it would to purchase new article of furniture?

--->Accept my suggest, Read your insurance policy (or have your insurance provider explain the major points to you lot) Before you lot accept a burn!... This way, you can upgrade to a better policy if need be. And, believe me, nosotros NEVER, Ever recall nosotros'll have a firm burn down.... But information technology DOES happen!

Not bad ideas and great feedback, but has anyone compiled a list of things to do when one loses everything? Similar who to contact to disconnect all services. Federal, country and local agencies for aid... red cross, etc. How to handle insurance, and so on. Does anyone know of a checklist? I would remember FEMA or RedCross or a local Fire Station would take 1. No luck
