I’m so very sorry to hear about this tragedy. Praying for peace for you and your family and friends - and for God’s miraculous provision for each of you.
So sorry to hear this, fren. Prayers that everyone finds new employment soon and that God directs the owners towards a new path forward.
Sending prayers your way.
Our heavenly father, I pray that you take care of these families and the loss of their business as well as those citizens who depended on them for the food and merchandise they need. Bless each one Lord and lead them to other places of employment. Keep them all well-fed and able to pay all their bills. Watch over those in the area and provide for them as well Lord. I ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.
Agreed! I pray that the Lord leads each one to wonderful blessings through this.
All God's Children say, "AMEN!". A beautiful heartfelt Prayer u/Mary911 for our CajunMamaBear.
We had a house fire in 2010 and although it seems dark now you will survive this challenge and become even stronger. We may be not far from you as we are on the coast of Southeast Texas and I know how loving and supportive Cajuns are.
God Bless and keep you u/CajunMamaBear! We are praying! 🙏💕
And may God bless you and your family as well.

Insured? I hope so. If you are then best advice I can give is find what is known as a public adjustor, not one from the insurance company. You'll be very happy you did. Even if it means finding one many miles away. They calculate your loss down to the number of nails you'll need. Amazing what they can recover. They take 10% but well worth it. Trust me, I know.
You’re describing property insurance. What she needs (as an employee) is business interruption coverage.
If the store owner had that, the employees will get paid while they rebuild the store.
Great advice! I briefly worked for a public adjustment company that did just that. They really helped people in recovering as much money as possible.
Hang in there fren . Our day of reckoning is near. Prayers are with you and your family fren
Gracious and eternal Father in Heaven, tell us they had insurance. In the blessed name of Jesus Christ we pray, amen.
(hug) I am so sorry to hear this.
Interesting, lots of suspicious fires.
That's immediately where my mind went, as well...
My thought too. Interesting if this becomes a trend.
More arson targeting the food supply.
Lord, please help us.
Ditto
That’s awful…that hurts my heart. So sorry to hear. Sending hugs & prayers 🙏🏻❤️ You guys make sure to stick together. ❤️❤️❤️
Prayers on the way. If you have another store in town,they may hire some cause their sales will go up.
Prayers always & For healing and Gods help watching over all during this time
I am so sorry to hear this. Prayers for you and yours. Hoping you had insurance and can rebuild what you lost.
Prayers being sent tonight and a rosary for your family and friends.
I pray for your insurance company to help you asap!
God I ask that you give each of these your peace and direct their next steps. Amen.
Have you considered Give Send Go? It's a Christian site that raises money for people in this type of situation.
God bless and uplift you all. Prayers being said for God to light a way for each and everyone of you!
I am so sorry! 😢 just lifted up prayers for y’all - May our Heavenly Father keep each of you & your family in the shelter of His arms! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
So so sorry. In my prayers.
You all are in my prayers.
Our Heavenly Father is merciful. He promises to provide for our every need. May He bless you and strengthen you.🙏
Hopefully your company has business interruption insurance.
If it does, you’ll get paid while they rebuild the store.
Oh my, I am so sorry. Glad that you are all safe. I hope you can rebuild, but I know this is a very stressful time for all of you. May God be with you and yours.
Weird. Just got news today that an electrical fire took out a manufacturing plant that supplies components for my company.
Interesting. Coincidence? Possibly. Planned?Possibly.
Did you have insurance? I mean if it’s electrical....I’m currently assist someone who lost their home through electrical, and they are cleaning up with insurance. Getting a much nicer home and money left to spare. Sometimes it’s not a setback, sometimes it’s a giant leap forward.
Man if my house burned down, I’ve already seen the numbers I would receive with my insurance...I’d feel rich!
God is setting you up for something bigger. You got this.
You all will be in my prayers.
That's too bad. Hopefully they have insurance.
That is .... not cool. Most places have fire insurance... do you?
I am sorry to hear this news. I will keep you all in my prayers.
May I ask which state? There could be something I can do.
I’m so sorry. Praying that God shows you guys a better opportunity ❤️
May God Bless You and Your Family & Friends and heal you in every way towards a brighter future.
Not meaning to dox you but just trying to help the world focus their prayers onto Jeanerette.
