Help Sequoia start over after tragic explosion

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Pamela Lynn and im fundraising on behalf of my friend Sequoia Royster and her two children (my god children) Zyir(9)and A’sahd Cooper(3). On the morning of 11/16/2022 their home exploded due to what everyone thought was a gas leak  in the next building. The Police are now saying the explosion happened due to a neighbor in the next building committing suicide. So many lives ruined over one persons actions. All of their belongings were lost as a result. My heart aches for this family as we are very close, more like sister’s than friends. I have watched her build a life for her children by herself. Struggling mentally and emotionally being the sole provider for her children. Working 7 days sometimes to make sure they lived comfortable. Now everything she worked so hard to build burned to the ground. She has to start completely over as a young single mother. Everything she has worked so hard to provide for her children gone by no fault of her own. They are safe but are scarred by this tragic event. God was with them as they were trapped in different rooms when the blast occurred, but she fought hard to get to her son who was trapped in the bathroom. We are asking for any help, no matter how small. The funds will be used to cover housing cost, clothes and other daily expenses until she is back on her feet. When i say she will be starting over, she only has the clothes on her back and her children. Please donate to help make this next transition in her life alittle less stressful. I will be giving the funds directly to Sequoia. Thank you and we appreciate your act of kindness.
