A family lost their house due to an unknown cause of fire in University City, and they are receiving support to rebuild the family home. The fire occurred in the afternoon on Dec. 18, and five of the family members were displaced with nothing left, according to the breaking news.
The house had been maintained for many generations until it went up in flames. “I have lived in that house my entire life and childhood. My grandpa built the house in the 1970s and lived in it ever since. My mom, uncle, and I all grew up in that house,” said Leila Namvar, the GoFundMe organizer.
Namvar remembers precious memories with her grandparents, such as watching classic movies and playing card games with her grandfather or helping her grandmother with cooking on Thanksgiving. “It is very sad to see your grandparent’s house gone when that house was their pride and joy,” said Namvar.
Mary Shiloff and Edward Shiloff, the grandparents of Namvar, are currently living in a hotel and are looking for a house to rent in the meantime. Donations will be used for rebuilding the Shiloff’s home. If you would like to support them, visit GoFundMe.
