The GoFundMe account seeks $1000 to help the family. Created by Shauna Mathis, the site describes why the fund is important:

As most of you know, my grandmas home caught on fire as she was sleeping and burned completely downdown last night. She lost everything and I mean EVERYTHING. My dad Steve is at Valley Regional in the burn center and his condition is very bad as well. My grandma lost my grandpa almost 4 years ago, this home all of us grew up in, so many memories in this home everyone on Manfre Road new how much my grand parents loved their home, especially the love they put in their yard together and now its gone. At the moment my grandma is staying with her neighbor she does not want to be far from her home, she has no clothes, shoes underwear, money NOTHING. All donations are greatly appreciated anything helps.
