Rushing home, he discovered that the fire had completely destroyed his property, leaving nothing but the clothes he was wearing.

In the emotional post, he wrote: “A tragic day I will never forget. Dec 20, 2024. I went to work, and around 4:55 p.m., my neighbor called to tell me my house was on fire.
