Local Woman Steps Up To Help Victims Of House Fire
http://cbs13.com/local/local_story_353193947.html

(CBS13) SACRAMENTO It was looking like a bleak Christmas for a Sacramento family after an overnight fire chased them from their home and left the place in shambles. But in the spirit of the season, help is on the way. One family is stepping forward to help.

The fire caused roughly $300,000 dollars worth of damage and forced a family to move in with relatives for the time being, though it's not just relatives helping these people out, but a total stranger too.

Justina Woodman started the holiday season with a goal, to help a family in need. And last night, she found those people while watching television.

"I saw it on the news last night and I was thinking, it's so close to Christmas, that's terrible," she says.

Woodman's talking about the house fire at 1906 Oak Bluff in South Natomas, home to Billy Sandhu, his wife and 2 kids. The fire destroyed nearly every room, and the Sandhu's lost furniture, books, and photo albums.

"Everything, we lost everything," says Sandhu.

And though woodman knows she can't replace the pictures, she does want to help in other ways. Her family owns a thrift store in the bay area and is ready to donate furniture, clothes, whatever.

"Just going through this the week before Christmas, it almost brought a tear to my eye, really," says Woodman.

Woodman and Sandhu have not yet met, though Sandhu couldn't be more grateful.

"Surprised, surprised, that someone I don't know would help me, that's nice," says Sandhu.

All Woodman asks in exchange is that Sandhu one day help another family in need, a request he promises to follow through with.

"I'd really like to thank her, like to meet her if I can, like to meet her in person," says Sandhu.

Investigators say an unattended fire in the fireplace may be what started the blaze.

While I am sure the clothes will come in handy I have to ask... where are they going to put the furniture?

JK - this was really an amazing thing to do. I didn't know your family owned a thrift store too! That was sweet of you to post it, Glen

Let that serve as a warning to us all. I am sure Insane and other fire fighters here call tell us about all kinds of cause of fires during the holiday season.

Wow.  Thanks Glen! I didn't do it for recognition... I just wanted to help out, since as the reporter said, it was my goal for the season.

You're right MrsW.  They don't have anywhere to put the furniture yet. They're working on getting an apartment so hopefully soon they'll have a place to put stuff.  Apparently the mother and the 2 kids were home when it started.  It just sucks that it was so close to Christmas.

  Awesome Justina!!  I'm not the least bit surprised though



Always pay attention to your fires.  We had some friends whose house burnt down last year because a log rolled out of their fire place.  They lost almost everything in the house as well

I still haven't heard from the family.  I left Bridget (the reporter who has their number) an email so that I have some sort of contact with them. She's the go between basically.  Just waiting to hear from them and get them fixed up
