See story details below:
Amanda is a state trooper and is a single mother of three children. She has two teenage boys from her first husband and an approximately three year old daughter she adopted with her second husband. She recently purchased a home and within one to two months, she had her furnace go out as well as her oven. She was able to take care of these things with some savings.
Earlier this week, her daughter got sick and the next day, so did Amanda. Since day care would not take her daughter with a fever, etc., Amanda stayed home from work to care for her. On Wednesday, one of her sons cleaned out the wood-burning stove and put the ash and coals in a plastic garbage can. The can was placed outside a back door. The coals were still smoldering and melted through the can, causing it to tip over and into a window well where it broke through the window, spilling coals onto the bed and floor of the room. The bed and carpet caught fire. The fire spread black smoke through the downstairs. Amanda was able to put the fire out with a couple of fire extinguishers. The damage was such that she has made a claim on her homeowner's insurance.
Around the time of this fire, Amanda was notified that she and her daughter tested positive for Covid. The night before, she found out her mother was diagnosed with lung cancer. In talking with Amanda, she is extremely overwhelmed with everything, both emotionally and now financially. It sounds like she elected to have a higher deductible on her insurance in order to lower her premiums. It would be nice to get her some help and relief from this onslaught of problems that seem to plague her and her children. She's an excellent trooper and has been in public safety for around 10 years now.
