GoFundMe Set Up For Val Verde Family After Fire Destroys Home
A Val Verde family has set up a GoFundMe after a fire destroyed their home and killed nine of their animals last week.
On Tuesday, Jan. 5, first responders received reports of a structure fire in the 29800 block of Central Avenue in Val Verde, according to Fire officials.
The fire was reported just before 5 a.m. as a result of a faulty water heater, said Christy Sims, a resident of the house.
“The heater blew right through the roof, killing our four cats and five dogs,” Sims said.
Sims lives at the house with her husband Vance Sims, as well as Ellyn Forman, who is the owner of the house.
