Though they lost everything, the community rallied, launching crowdfunding efforts to help them rebuild. Fire officials are still investigating the cause, but the tragedy underscores how fast disaster can strike—and how vital it is to cherish what you have, while leaning on the kindness of strangers and neighbors.
