Donate to family of eight who lost home in fire

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) — A family of eight is in need of help after losing their home to a fire on Monday morning.

Firefighters received the call just after midnight to the home on Pierson drive, where they found the family sitting outside the burning home. Five were taken to a hospital and now three remain in critical condition.

23-year-old Chris Nyiraugendo says his sister ran back into the fire to save her 3-year-old son. Now she and her toddler are in the hospital in critical condition, along with Chris’ brother, 15-year-old Emmanuel.

Their house is destroyed, Chris says, leaving them with nothing and nowhere to go.
