I can personally verify that @nickabocker is a loving, gentle, hardworking individual who has had the world simply kick him repeatedly over the last year and a half, and this, the fire, is by far the hardest kick he's faced.
He and his mother are also trying to find a new home for themselves and their pets (who're very much part of the family).
Please help if you can. Please boost and share the Gofundme link. May we all add some extra planks to their raft.
