Alien Space Babe in a house fire

I just recieved a phone call from Liz. Last night she and her family lost their home due to a house fire. The house is a complete loss and will have to be torn down and rebuilt. She and the kids are fine. Shaken up but doing well considering they almost didn't make it out. She says for everyone to go check your smoke detectors and make sure they are working. The smoke detector in her basement next to her sons bedroom was not in working order because it was beeping and her son took the batery out some time ago. The house was filled with smoke before the upstairs alarms kicked in. Luckly her son awoke and made it upstairs to wake them up before her smoke alarms went off upstairs.
They are staying with Liz's sister which is close to her kids school and work. Liz said it will be 3-4 weeks before she can go back to work because she will have so much to do to recover from this. The family is heart broken because they lost a kitten in the fire but are very thankful that they are all alright. The fire started due to a space heater with stuff to close to it in her sons bedroom. She said it will be a quite awhile before she will be able to get online and she misses you all. Any prayers and vibes will be appreciated.

Please let her know that she is in our thoughts and prayers.
My husband is in construction and it is always a good idea to check your smoke detectors. Normally if they are beeping for no reason it is just because the batteries are getting low. That is how you know to change them. 3 months should be the longest that batteries should be in them.
A cheep cost for what could save your lives.

Liz, I am so sorry this happened. I'm thankful everyone is ok. I know insurance will cover a lot, but it never covers everything lost.
Karla, any way to get the sizes they wear? I know my son has wayyyy to many clothes, maybe some would fit Liz's son. Can always send blankets, clothes, linens....anything to help them.
Let us know what is needed.
