The Aftermath


This is the aftermath of the two alarm fire at my parents house, which happened on New Years Day. Everything was destroyed including photos, clothing, furniture, and family heirlooms. My Dad, Mom, and sisters are now homeless.  This is going to be a rough year for me but most of all a extremely hard year for my family in Neptune. 

The Living room

The den

 We found my family cat, Bambi, in the house. She died in the fire. We buried her. 
That was the piano we had in the den. It was completed torched. 


My Dad lost his entire record collection. He been collection record for over 40 years 


The laundry room

That was a stereo

The front of the house

This is a dumpster full of my family possessions. We still have a long way to go to cleaning out the house. 

The good news is that my father Church, Second Baptist Church in Asbury Park, NJ has started a fund for my family called the “Bullock Family Relief Fund” or “BFRF.  The Asbury Park press wrote about it here

If you would like to contribute to the fund, have checks made out to Second Baptist Church of Asbury Park, in care of the “Bullock Family Relief Fund” or “BFRF.” The church’s address is 124 Atkins Ave., Asbury Park, NJ 07712.

I would like to thank all my readers, fans, friends, family, volunteers, and good Samaritans for your prayers, thoughts, and acts of kindness. I will keep you updated on my family.
