Back my mothers antique/resale store that was full burned to the ground and also caught the two available vehicles on fire and burned as well we have not had a vehicle since the incident nor did we have insurance on the building its contents or vehicles due to the limited income most of our clothing and shoes burned in the fire as well, weve managed to obtain a few donated clothing items but not many the burdens and health risk for my mother and husband as well as starvation are a major concern for me ive applied for local assistance only to be turned down due to ineligiblity , this was my last resort for help in obtaining safe stable housing and transportation
