The family was displaced by a fire that broke out at their home in the 4300 block of South Dakota Avenue, Northeast, on May 5, according to a Tweet from DC Fire & EMS.
While no one was physically hurt, the family is suffering a major financial loss.
"We didn't have renter insurance and lost everything," the GoFundMe reads. "The money will help replace items we lost."
Three of the family's children, who work various odd jobs in the area like landscaping, shoveling snow and selling water, are pitching in to help raise funds. People can donate to the GoFundMe by clicking here.
