Alright so my friend's place burned to the ground, literally. The fire started in the flat above and spread. Everything is gone. I care about this person a lot and it's incredibly lucky that nobody was killed.

Please support in any way you can. They're very good people, I obviously wouldn't ask otherwise. This person has been involved in projects I've been involved with for almost a decade now.

I can probably get alternative options if desired.

EDIT: I should add that they're not expecting to get a new place for "up to 19months" according to insurance. Literally anything big or small is incredibly useful, this is an entire family.

$600 is more than I expected from here, genuinely really appreciated. It will absolutely help and be put to good use.

I walked past a house on fire once at night. The whole family was out on the street in their pyjamas watching their lives go up in flames and what didn't burn get destroyed by the fire hoses.

It was awful.
