Fire Destroyed It All
Per the GoFundMe: Recently, I moved with my boys from Gwinnett County to Buckhead in hopes for a better education. We had a lot of problems with the school system and bullying. My boys were extremely excited for this new start at a new school. They absolutely love their new school! Both have made new friends and play partners. As a mom, my biggest joy is to see them happy. In just 4 short months, I’ve enjoyed seeing them the happiest I’ve seen them since daycare. This all changed within a matter of minutes. We were left with only the clothes on our backs; However, we are grateful for our lives.
