If both of these survivors could somehow get to Connecticut, USA they are More than welcome to spend the holidays with us. If I lived there I would offer the same thing, I too have spent the holidays completely alone with absolutely nothing. Only it wasn't a horrific event that caused it, I just have a really sick, twisted, sociopathic parents that find Pure Enjoyment from My Misery and Misfortune. Now I have Amazing In-laws and I have "adopted" New parents. Last year the holidays were hard because it was the first holiday season without my "new" mom and she LOVED Christmas. I still struggle with her sudden passing she left a Huge hole in our lives, but I try to enjoy the little things and honor her memory Everyday. And I know that she would offer the very same offer I put up here. The Holidays are about Giving Not Receiving, Open your arms and home and Share the Spirit of this season Regardless of Religion, Race, Beliefs or Any other excuse to spread hate and despair. Help someone in need; Show Compassion; Treat others with the Respect that you Expect to be shown; Treat Others how You, Yourself Want to be Treated; Stop being so Self-absorbed, Selfish; Be Grateful for what you have Because there are MILLIONS of People that have NOTHING and No One and Are Struggling to Survive Day to Day. No Matter how bad your life may seem right now there are people Right Now who have it Much Much worse. We ALL can be doing so much more to help the Innocent women, children, disabled, and elderly that are suffering Horrendous conditions in ALL of the Refugee Camps Worldwide. Unfortunately these poor people's Horrific Existence is being kept from the American Public due to our Hate Filled, Power Hungry, Greedy, Dictator in Training , Poor Excuse of a President Wont allow the Mainstream Media to show the truth. Trump Supporters Believe that ALL Muslims in these Refugee Camps are ISIS Training Camps where Everyone there are terrorists and the conditions that are shown in these videos of the camps are staged so that the women and children can infiltrate Western societies and instill terror by Mass Shootings and Bombings. Trump stays on complete control by claiming these innocent people trying to save themselves and are trying to give their children a better life are going to come in and Kill them, Steal their jobs, Murder their Whole Family including their 15th cousin 5 Times Removed just because they are White and Own a House. Unfortunately the Majority of Americans are Dumb and have been Conned by The Master Con Artist, and since the majority of Americans don't give a Fuck about World History because, "Like that was the Past and Other Countries. We are America and we have rights that protect us from that." While they destroy ALL of those rights that "protect us". Trump and his cronies are using fear to take ALL of our rights away. Those of us who do have an Independent Brain, and who Know the Importance of Studying and Knowing History see Trump for What He Is... An American Hitler, I have seen his intentions since he Started Running for President, he uses the fear of ISIS and makes it about this One Religion instead of Just this Terrorist Group. Hitler did the SAME THING Only it was the Jewish People instead of the Muslims. Don't follow someone blindly because they are "exposing the evil" and claim they want to "protect" you from a "greater evil" usually one Whole Race or Religious group or ALL People with Skin color Darker than "Light Beige". If you give them Power And Control they WILL become Another Hitler.

Nice comments and I agree Trump particularly bad but other leaders of US and UK have also killed hundreds of thousands abroad as well as indirectly killing their own citizens here in London or in the US after Hurricane Katrina or the latest hurricane in Puerto Rico

[@lilithdevonrex]

Our block has no social housing at all and had this cladding and no sprinklers I know ppl want to make it a class war but I rly think it was greedy rich developers wanting to make money over really caring about people. The government prob didn’t even know to be fair it was so dangerous. Absolute tragedy though all around The gov should however be going above and beyond to help these people who cares if they get a better home let’s be honest they deserve some serious compensation not just for what happened but the stay in place rule that was clearly wrong. Give them an upgrade for god sake. They also need to step out more and help ppl who still can’t sell or mortgage flats due to them still having claddings on they don’t like.

[@IzzyOnTheMove]

These people have been through a lot, but what stops them to go out and find themselves a place to live instead of sitting in a hotel room for months (3 years now for some) waiting on what's being proposed to them? Especially the young able ones... Go out there and help yourself...

[@Christinebanks11]

Uh , yes , you did put yourself in this situation , you rented the apartment didn't you?

Really feel for these two and the others that were involved in this horrific fire - it will no doubt be hard for them still but I hope they find comfort soon especially that young lad seems really low.

[@pentfold6534]

Made me cry - feel terrible for that young lad. Glad to see the lovely grandma had a chance to cook.

[@haydenharris3059]

I hope they all get justice for the government and corporate murder committed. I suffer from missing loved ones who lived long lives but I cannot imagine the suffering of these folk. Though I cannot feel their pain, I’m sincerely sorry for their loss.

[@lilithdevonrex]

Tbh I blame the builders and developers I think just cutting corners to save money. We also had this cladding and no sprinklers or anything it’s finally been replaced but now they don’t like the wooden cladding. We have all just had to pay for waking watch to walk around every hour and no one can sell. I rly think it was developers just trying to make as much money as possible tbh. The saddest thing of all was the stay in place I think pretty much everyone would have gotten out has they all just left. I actually know of someone who came down from near the top because she had asthma she is fine whilst everyone else on that floor didn’t make it. I rly think most ppl would have made it out alive without that stay in place rule.

[@haydenharris3059]

@@lilithdevonrex The flats where my boat is moored also had useless waking watch. The simple analysis is that it could not have happened as it did before the referb at Grenfell

[@lilithdevonrex]

@@haydenharris3059 I think builders and developers cut corners tbh to save a few bucks with little care to the result and the government prob has no idea how flammable it was. I mean our block has absolutely no social housing so it clearly wasn’t just used as a cheap fix in their eyes

[@lilithdevonrex]

@@haydenharris3059 they now don’t like our wooden cladding so even tho the government actually fixed and paid for our acm we now have another issue that no one wants to take responsibility to pay for but no one can mortgage till it’s sorted it’s rly a nightmare for a lot of ppl dragging on as well as an absolutely tragic event

I cant imagine what they all went true.. The people who where stuck, the fire department and what a horror for people who ‘had to watch’. U cant turn your head. The emotions in this video where so raw, so pure heavy sh#t. Thanks so much for sharing with us, It teaches me. Sorry for my english. Hope so much the survivers will heal, find peace and i hope they got good trauma therapy. I feel for you all.
