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 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

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.

Prayer is needed!

Pray for my Mom, Dad, and my sister, who lost their home New years day. They lost everything in the fire. You can see more Here 

I was visiting my family for New Years when this tragedy happened. Here are photos of the house the day after. With help of friends, family, and neighbors we boarded up the house and clean up all the debris and possession my family once had.

 I would like to say thanks to all the close neighbors, friends, volunteers, and good samaritans that are helping my family and I during this tough time. We have a long way to go but I am thankful that my family and I have such caring people to help out in this tragic event!

 If you know any agencies, non profit organizations, and/or religious organization that can help my family at this time, please send me a message so I can contact them. Please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers! 















Thanks to some friends, we started to board up the house

The house is inhabitable. Everything was destroyed
