So sorry for the person that lost what home he had. Praying you can find some help to find another safe place to live.
Prayers for whomever lost their humble home, and prayers that the persone receives adequate help, not just a dangerous extension cord/camping situation. Every human deserves a safe place to sleep. Thank you also to first responders and whomever shared their electricity with this soul.
