WLKY did a story on Amber’s family…she listens to the show and unfortunately she was at work when her house in the Portland neighborhood caught on fire. Bret was at home with their three kids when he smelled smoke. He was cleaning with their 9-year-old and the 3-year-old and 16-month-old were on the first floor. They are staying with family and most likely will be displaced for at least 8 months. They need clothes, diapers, and other essentials and are looking for foster homes for their dogs and cats. There is a GoFundMe set up to help cover what they lost. STORY: https://www.wdjx.com/local-family-in-need-of-essentials-after-house-fire/
