A Kenyan family living in Houston, Texas is counting huge losses after their house was destroyed by fire in a suspected case of arson.

The house that Simon Muraya and his wife Yvonne Muraya live in along with their one-year baby girl caught fire on Saturday, November 7th around 5pm. All their belongings in the house were reduced to ashes.

The Kenyan community in Houston has come together to offer financial and any other support to Muraya’s family following the unfortunate incident.  

Financial assistance can be channeled to:

  • Simon Muraya; CashApp: $simonmuraya or Zelle: 574-344-1017

Below are some photos of Muraya's burnt house.

Unless you're sure they OWNED the House, it could be they were Renting; and all they need is Financial support for Furniture, Clothes, Dishes, and other Households needs.

@guest1 no wonder you do not give you name cause you have a brain of a chicken.No one said the funding is for buying a house .It is for getting them a shelter . This is kind of response which should not be published .

If they were renting, there is renter Insurance and hope they had it. If they own it and paying morgage yes that one they had have BUT it depend on the policy and it they were smart to get the best otherwise "Game On" with insurance company.

Dangerous assumptions; have you ever read the clauses of a house insurance? Even if they will be compensated by the insurance; do you understand that takes forever & they do not pay more than 80%? This family needs some money to help them get basic needs, if you do not want to give, then, STFU!

True very tru!!! The last thing someone wants to worry about when they are standing out on the street is where they will sleep that night their house is gone
am amazed by some responses . No one is being forced to donate. But rude comments will not help even yourself it is wrong

Haya ndiyo matunda ya "M.A.G.A."

1. Watoto wadogo walitenganishwa na wazazi wao kwenye mpaka wa USA na Mexico n ampaka sasa, yapata watoto 666 amabo hawana njia yoyote ya kuunganishwa na wazazi wao.

2. Watu wa asili ya Marekani ya Kusini katika jimbo la Texas walimiminiwa marisasi na Mmarekani wa asili ya Ulaya alipowaambia walirudi walikotoka! Yeye mwenyewe haelewi wala hajui ya kwamba nchi ya Marekani ilikuwa na wenyewe kabla haijachukuliwa kwa nguvu na walowezi wa asili ya Ulaya. Maskini watu hawa waliuawa kinyama walipokwenda kununua vitu madukani.

3. Watu wanaosema lugha nyingine zisizo Kiingereza hukatazwa wasiseme lugha zao za asili hapa Marekani ya sasa.

4. Askari polisi alimuua Hayati George Floyd kwa kumwekea goti shingoni mpaka alipozirai na kufa.

5. Hayati Heather (Mmasrekani wa asili ya Ulaya) aliuawa kwa kugongwa kwa gari alipofanya maandamano kupinga vikundi vya magaidi wa asili ya Ulaya huko Virginia.

6. Uchaguzi wa urais umekwisha na aliyeshindwa amekataa kukubali ushindi na huku mpinzani wake ana kura zaidi ya milioni tano.

Orodha ya filosofia ya M.A.G.A haina mwisho!

Pole kwa familia iliyo adhirika. Chanzo cha moto kinaweza kuwa kilisababishwa na mtu mwenye asili ya Afrika, Ulaya ,Asia,America kusini au hata ulaya. Uchunguzi bado huja kamilika. Hata yawezekana ni marafiki zake walio mwonea wivu ajuae ni muhusika.

Such tragedy. You never want to see this happen to anyone. If they owned the home which seems to be the case then home owners insurance will compensate them. If they were renters, then let’s hope they had renters insurance. I can assure you that most renters don’t think about renters insurance. They assume responsibility lies on the landlord.
The important thing is the family appears to be okay. Material things can be replaced.
