Flames ripped through Cesar Bautista’s home on Dec. 30, just five days after Christmas.
“I never would’ve thought in a million years that we would have a fire in our home, and it happened,” Bautista said. “So that was a learning experience, and very humbling experience.”
Bautista and his wife, teenage daughter, mother-in-law and brother-in-law were all left without a place to live.
They lost belongings, clothes, food…everything, all because of an electrical fire.
“It was devastating,” Bautista said. “What really kept me going was the support from everyone.”
