WELCOME, Md. – On February 12, 2024, at approximately 9:10 a.m., fire and rescue personnel were dispatched to Dominion Place near Cold Lake Drive following a 911 call. Upon arrival, crews found a two-story home engulfed in flames as well as the surrounding vehicles. Now, with support from a GoFundMe page, the family is looking to rebuild from the ground up.
“In the blink of an eye, everything was lost, including what my parents have worked tremendously hard for from their 30s until retirement. We are thankful everyone made it out and is intact, and for that, we’re genuinely grateful,” Allandra Johnson stated on the GoFundMe page.
As of this report, the family cat, Na’la, is still missing. Johnson stated on the GoFundMe page that the family has returned to the property twice a day in hopes of being reunited with their beloved pet.
“Our family home is more than just a house with walls and floors. It is where memories are created with our loved ones. Our family home was where anyone would reflect and laugh at the early 80s and 90s photos hung on the wall. Pass on family traditions using generational cooking pots, cooking recipes, etc. Our family home was also a place for gatherings and celebrations. Christmas at our house became a tradition, even with different ugly pajamas yearly,” said Johnson.
“I do not doubt that my family will work diligently to rebuild everything lost. I’m saddened that the home I’ve known since middle school is gone with the recent memories of my son’s milestones in the past four years…I’m truly thankful for any donation and prayers to help us restart.”
