There's nothing more devastating to a family home than a house fire.
Especially when that fire destroys all your belongings.
It's heartbreaking to think of all the little memories that will fade along with the photos and objects that bring them to mind.
The truly important thing is that all the people and animals living at the house are unharmed and able to move on from the traumatic event, despite losing their belongings.
It's so difficult to part with the things you collect throughout your life. They come to define you in a way, and it's sad to see that part of yourself taken away.
But it's times like these that your community can make all the difference to you and your family.
For the Salvato family, the fire that destroyed their home and belongings took something extra special away from their teen daughter.
Nicolette's homecoming dreams were dashed when the fire burned her gown and her family wasn't able to replace it.
That's when local businesses began donating their services to make sure she was still able to go to the dance despite the family tragedy.
She was given a beautiful dress to wear on her big night.
