NJ-2026-0104: Hamilton Township family lost everything when their home burned on two straight days

FAMILY BACKGROUND:
A married couple in Hamilton Township and their 16-year-old daughter lost everything when their home caught fire — not once, but on two straight days. The first fire was put out, but it had kept smoldering inside the walls of the older home, and the next day the house burned again, leaving the inside completely charred. Everything the family had gathered over 30 years is gone, including the toys she had collected for this year's toy drive and the prom gown and shoes picked out for their daughter's 2027 prom. The family is now living out of a hotel room. A sponsor's help this Christmas would mean the world to them as they start over from nothing.
