Fire Leaves Us Filing For Bankruptcy
January 31, 2009
Sometimes I regret buying that dog for my husband. He wanted a golden retriever, and on his thirty-fourth birthday I our garage and spill over a canister of gasoline we keep in there for emergency refills. Then she walked back into the house, leaving little doggy-footprints of gasoline on the carpet. Alongside the wall right outside the garage is a small table where we keep potpourri and scented candles. Somehow, she knocked that over as well. Next thing you know, the entire garage explodes in flame, and within a short while the whole house burnt down. The fire department wasn’t able to save anything. My husband and I were upstairs when we heard the blast and we were able to grab the dog and run out of the house before the whole thing blew. Now we are filing for bankruptcy. The house had everything in it - my purses, my husband’s wallet, and our credit cards. We weren’t the wealthiest people on the block to begin with, and our bank accounts were running low. Now we are completely out of money and have no home to turn back to. We had no insurance. I have an appointment with the lawyer in a few hours, and I hope he can help us. Or at least adopt our dog.
