Spread some Christmas cheer please!

On Wednesday night there was a fire in the garage of the apartment building that @manclar lives in. 3 cars burned and he helped his 84 year old neighbor evacuate down 13 flights in the smoke filled stairwells.

Everyone got out safely, and electricity and internet have been restored, but @manclar will be spending his Christmas cleaning up soot and smoke damage from his walls, ceiling, furniture, and clothes.

Help me send @manclar a little Christmas cheer and show him we care. You can vote here He is beneficiary of this post.

Let's make this the Kindest Night of the Year

I deeply understand that how much difficulties he has to faced now in cleaning all this smoke and I think he should be grateful because there was no life loss.
Wealth could be restored but life can't.
These festivals have only valued if You are alive and that's great You have.

It must have been terrifying, but you are right. It could have been so much worse.

Yes, I am grateful to be alive, but now my property is in ruin, and financially I do not have the capacity to repair the damage, my financial situation does not allow it, I am so poor that the few resources I obtain I can only invest in food and pay for basic services, now all these repairs such as cleaning the walls require the purchase of detergents, degreasers and cleaning materials that are far from my purchasing power to acquire, not to mention that after removing all those stains I have to paint the walls and roof, so that costs more additional money spent on paint and brushes,so now I have to live in an environment full of soot, and that is my new anguish...I'm still alive yes, but I'm going to get sick if I can't clean this up.

And these products are expensive, I require several gallons of degreaser, a few kilos of detergent, and many rags, sponges to wash, etc., all of this costs a lot of money, and I don't have it.

But I am grateful to be alive...

Thank you very much @melinda010100 I really appreciate all the support you give me. I don't feel like posting, I'm removing tons of soot from my house.

Here are some extra photos.

the soot burn in my building, notice the height to which the flame reached in the publication of the photo that Melinda shows, and the burn here. I arrive at the 13th floor where I live. My home is full of dirt this Christmas.

At the main entrance to my home, notice the contrast between the black soot on the top and everything else is yellow that has been cleaned with the little I have, which is just water (I can't afford to buy detergents).

I feel very sad this Christmas, everything is dirty, everything smells burnt, I really feel bad, I try to do my best, but this situation surpasses me by a lot.

I won't share more photos with you because I'm not really in the mood, sorry =(

All you can do is clean up a little at a time. It will get better. Hope this post brings you some funds to buy the cleaning products that you need.

Yes, it is a long and time-consuming job, in my condition it will take me a long time to do it, but I will try to clean a little for 2 hours each day.

Hopefully I can save enough to buy degreaser and a lot of detergent to wash everything, and a few cleaning rags to clean the floors and walls (the rags get loaded with soot and there comes a point when they are no longer useful, they have to be thrown away).

I want my house clean, I feel very distressed!

Thankyou Melinda, you know i really apreciate all you are doing! <3

Thank you, I want to get out of this nightmare soon. Before, years ago, several things happened to me in December, many years ago, such as the death of my parents, my best friend and other things. This December this fire, I am fighting to survive and with the support of all of you I will achieve it.

Thank you!.

Hi Melinda, just wanted to express my appreciation for all you do for the community. Quick question, though: my Ecency daily boost keeps getting refunded. Any thoughts on how to resolve this? Thanks so much!

Boosts are seldom given to anyone on blacklist.
Boost posts that are less than 24 hours old.
When Ecency voting power is low curators often choose to mostly approve boosts for posts published on Ecency.
To allow us to give boosts to more people please request 150/200 point boosts.
When the price of Hive goes up, Ecency will be able to be more generous again!

I upvoted the post. My upvote is currently worth $0.012. Not much, but more than nothing. And every little upvote will add up in the end. I am glad that everyone is safe. Hopefully soon @manclar will be able to clean up everything, and that he will spend the Christmas in love and in peace. I read and I upvoted his comment too. I know that this situation is hard, but do not let it make you sad. I really hope that the people around you will make you happy. Especially your loved ones.

I wish Merry Christmas to everyone.

Thank you very much xplosive, your words and your support represent more than any amount of money. The feeling of feeling integrated, supported by people who appreciate and protect you is invaluable and the truth is that it means a lot to me, for which I will be infinitely grateful.

Here you have a friend, whenever, however, without conditions. :)

Thank you, these were really very difficult moments, I feel very bad and sad, seeing my house black and smelling of smoke today.

I hope to be able to clean everything soon, manage to buy gallons of degreaser, detergent, sponges, rags and finally paint to paint the walls.

Thank you very much, believe me, I appreciate it very much! <3

It's so sad to see your holidays tainted with this sad occurrence. Hopefully you will bounce back from it. It's also a good thing no lives were lost. Stay safe my friend and keep soaring high. The situations don't get to decide our happiness. We are the ones that do. Happy holidays and a prosperous new year in advance.
