Fire, new baby and a break-in give Okanagan family a whirlwind week

The Stewart family have moved into a new home, b

A Penticton family has been on an emotional roller coaster after dealing with a fire, a new child and a break-in within three days of each other.

Kyle and Jess Stewart, the owners of Soda Creek Soap Co., were forced to leave their home after a fire broke out in a connecting unit on Burns Street.

香蕉视频直播淲e saw the black smoke coming out the windows and then tons of firefighters arrived on scene,香蕉视频直播 said Kyle. 香蕉视频直播淭hey got on top of it really quickly and got it under control.香蕉视频直播

Although their own unit didn香蕉视频直播檛 suffer any direct fire damage, there was plenty of smoke damage and that meant the family couldn香蕉视频直播檛 stay until it was cleaned up. That included tossing out all of the contaminated baby clothes they had, all their other clothing and any damaged furniture.

Emergency Support Services helped put the family up in a hotel, and Kyle began the work of clearing out the contaminated contents of their home.

Then, three days after the fire, Jess went into labour and the family welcomed little William to the world.

香蕉视频直播淟uckily my parents were already planning on coming out, so we decided to rent an AirBnB with them, basically,香蕉视频直播 Kyle said. 香蕉视频直播淭hen the night we got into it, Jess香蕉视频直播 water broke and we went to the hospital at like 1:45 in the morning, then William joined us, which is awesome. We香蕉视频直播檙e stoked about that.香蕉视频直播

Unfortunately, when Kyle went back to their home the next day to continue the hard work of emptying out the damaged clothing and furniture, he found the heartbreaking signs of a break-in.

香蕉视频直播淭he side door must have been pried open and then they came in and took everything basically that they could carry,香蕉视频直播 said Stewart. 香蕉视频直播淟uckily we kept most of our appliances, as far as I know, but they took the tv off the wall, gaming systems, collectibles. It香蕉视频直播檚 like kicking a guy while he香蕉视频直播檚 down.香蕉视频直播

Although the family wasn香蕉视频直播檛 willing to go public with their story after the fire, with their focus on their new baby, the break-in made the decision for them.

Doug Drouin, a local photographer and friend of the family, set up a GoFundMe for the Stewarts and also a personal campaign where he香蕉视频直播檇 donate the booking fees for photography sessions to the family.

The Soda Creek Soap Co. website has also been flooded with orders on top of the rush for the holiday season.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 been crazy the amount of support that we香蕉视频直播檝e seen already,香蕉视频直播 said Stewart. 香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 gonna have to get back to the shop so I can start filling those orders and getting them out to everybody before Christmas.香蕉视频直播

In addition to the GoFundMe and photography sessions with Drouin, Stewart and Soda Creek Soap Co. will be out at Christmas markets in the valley for people who want to pick up some gifts.
