RACINE, WI – A devastating house fire left a Racine, Wisconsin family without a home, but quick thinking and bravery saved the day. On September 18, the Kornas familyâs home was engulfed in flames. While six children were inside, 14-year-old Trinity Kornas spotted signs of danger and took swift action to get everyone out.
A Sister’s Quick Thinking
Trinity was home with six of her younger siblings when she noticed something was wrong. What started as a simple moment of play quickly turned into a life-saving effort. Upon noticing smoke in the house, Trinity immediately alerted her siblings and directed them to safety outside. Her actions ensured that no one was left behind as she worked to evacuate the home.
Thanks to her leadership, all six children escaped without injury. Her response helped avoid a potential tragedy, showing just how much of an impact a calm, quick reaction can have in moments of crisis.
Aftermath: The Devastation
Though the family was able to escape the fire, their home was not so lucky. The upstairs area of the house was completely destroyed, with fire consuming furniture, clothing, and personal belongings. Smoke and water damage rendered nearly everything unsalvageable. According to reports, the Racine Fire Department estimates that the fire caused $40,000 in damages.
Now displaced, the family is living in temporary housing. Although they have insurance, they are struggling to replace even basic necessities like clothing and baby supplies. The fire’s aftermath has left them grappling with how to move forward, rebuilding from the ground up.
Community Support
A GoFundMe campaign here has been launched to help with immediate needs, such as clothing and food. In addition, a Meal Train page here has been set up to assist with meals as they work through this challenging time. While their home is gone, the family is grateful for the safety of their children. They continue to face challenges, but community efforts are helping them slowly rebuild their lives.
As the Kornas family faces the unimaginable task of rebuilding their lives from nothing, your support can make all the difference. Whether itâs donating to their GoFundMe or providing meals through Meal Train, every contribution helps this family recover from a devastating loss.
While insurance may cover some damage, the immediate need for essentials like clothes, diapers, and everyday supplies is overwhelming. Now is the time to come together as a community and show the Kornas family that they are not alone. If you’re able, please consider donatingâbecause while things can be replaced, the love and support of a community is priceless.
