I teach, as has been previously established. About a week after the fire, one of my former students came to my classroom and said her mother had a house they wanted to donate to us. Apparently, her mother and sisters and she had moved in with the boyfriend, and they had a furnished house just sitting there.
They offered it rent-free, and we'd pay the gas/electric. What the hell? People offering their homes to us, in addition to all the donations we had received? We were truly overwhelmed with the kindness of others, and we were very eager to find a place of our own until we figured out what we were going to do about our home.
So, we moved to the big city. The house burned down on a cold, blustery winter day, and we moved three pick-up loads full of stuff to the rental house from the farm during a snow storm.
Picked a hell of a month to become a house fire statistic, that's all I can say.
