However, the challenges keep on coming to the family. Just recently, the family loses home to fire. It has only been months since they faced the challenge of losing their father, and now they are about to go through another problem.

Although safe from harm, the pets are being treated at the Weymouth due to minor burns and the possibility that they inhaled smoke during the fire.

Andrade says that as their family loses home to fire, this year has officially become a tough one. She said, "This is just the icing on the cake."

The family is displaced

As the family loses their home to fire, they are now expecting to be displaced for at least six months since their home would need repairs.

According to Andrade, most of their belongings were destroyed due to the fire. She said, "We literally have the shirts that are on our backs and not much else."

Luckily, firefighters were able to recover the urn containing the ashes of their dad who died due to coronavirus.

Aside from the belongings that the Andrade family lost due to the fire, they say that the sentimental value of the house is already gone.
