My friends house burned down
Okay so my friends house burned down this morning. I'm still in shock. I really want to help her through this. She lost everything, except the clothes she's wearing and her cell phone. Now I know this should be common sense, but I need your help. I need to help her out and help her through this. I just dont know how to go about doing so. I'm going to ask her if she wants to spend the weekend at my house or if she wants to hangout. Also she's a huge Jonas Brothers fan so i'm giving her a bunch of mine. I'm just wondering what else I could do. Like obviously i'm going to be there for her if she needs to talk and all but what can I do and how do I go about doing it? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Let her know that it's okay for her to stay at your house and eat your food and wear your clothes if she needs to. That should take at least some of her stress away. Or take her shopping or something. Your job is to take her mind off of what happened, so go try to have fun with her every once in a while.

i know this might not sound very important.. but if you have any pictures of her those are always good. because it definetly sucks to lose all your pictures when your house burns down. because those are things you cant get back. she can always buy new clothes, furniture, etc. you can let her borrow some of your clothes for the meantime though. shes probably gonna stay with family or in a hotel but you can ask her if she would be more comfortable staying at your house.

You could help by letting her borrow clothes. Giving her some money if she needs it. Having her over as much as possible so she has food, and a house. Taking her family in. Like providing them with a home untill they can find an apartment or another house. Also, having your parents help them look for apartments or another house. Just being there in general is important when someone goes through something like this they really need people to be there for them. Also, don't act like your ggiving her everything...she might take that as an insult. Ans thats deffenetly the laste thing you want her to think.

Maybe you can take her family in.. Or find apartments/shelters for their family while they are in rehab.. Maybe treat her to a nice dinner or let her borrow/keep some of your clothes. When her bday or a holiday roles around buy her an extra special gift..
Hope this helps!
