鈥淗e works hard and this was his first time renting. I am hopeful that this is something that you are interested in helping because he could use it right now.鈥�
Barb Noble, Nathan鈥檚 mother, wrote on his fundraising page that it was an incredibly stressful morning when they first found out the house he lived in was on fire. When he didn鈥檛 answer her phone calls, she rushed to the burning house.
鈥淭o my relief upon reaching the scene, the fire department assured me all had made it out safe,鈥� she said.
Nathan was the sole occupant of the home when the fire started, Barb added.
鈥淭hanks to a stranger banging on the door, he was woken and got to safety.
鈥淭he good news is they are all safe but are now left to start over again and have lost everything鈥� I am hoping to raise enough to give them a chance to replace the essentials and get a fresh start.鈥�
According to the 麻豆AV Fire Department, the fire is not suspicious but it remains under investigation.
鈥淭he fire was knocked down from the outside and then extinguished with an interior attack,鈥� platoon captain Tim Light said.
