We're happy you're okay Alex!

To all that know my sister I wanted to let you know that Alex is okay, but her two cats, Nina and Bowie were victims of a fire at her apartment this morning.

**UPDATE** Nina and Bowie (her cats) are okay! I have no idea how they made it out after watching the video below. Dads bringing them to the vet now.

Alex and the cats are in this one

This page as was created so people could donate both their kind words and give her support through small donation. Alex lost everything including her cellphone, she only has the pajamas she had on when she was carried out of the apartment so a few dollars (even $1 -$5) could help if everyone she knows chips in.

There is "Donate" button below, if you can spare some cash to help her get back on her feet, that would be great. Either way, leave her a message below so she can see your support. She could definitely use it. The donations will go towards the vet bills for Nina and Bowie as well.

**UPDATE**
If you have clothes that would fit Alex and would like to donate, leave a message here and someone will contact you.
Her sizes are:
Pants: 10L
Top: Large
Shoes: 11

Leave a message for Alex on her Facebook profile, leave a comment for her below, or send her an email: arlix120@gmail.com

Please give thanks for this day and everyone you have in your life!

  3. Best of luck to Alex and the kitties. I sent what I could through paypal. I'll ask my roommate tonight if she has any clothes Alex might fit, I'm not sure. Are there any other immediate needs?
