Three generations of a South Side family were displaced by a fire at their home, and are now trying to pick up the pieces.
The fire broke out on Dec. 30 at a home in the 2900 block of Desague Street and involved a member of the KSAT family, intern and Texas A&M-San Antonio journalism student Sarah Cervera.he last couple of days have been extremely overwhelming. This belongs to my elderly aunt and we’ve lived here all our lives,” said Cervera. “It’s just us four girls and we’ve had this property pretty much for over 80 years. It was passed down to her from my grandpa.
“Immediately I felt the flames and saw the shed on fire. I grabbed my computer in my bag and my dog and the other arm. I ran out and helped my aunt because she can’t walk very well,” said Cervera. “I broke down in the front yard and I just I sat on the ground and the firefighter told me, ‘you got to move.’”
“We have to try to find a way to do it, with the help of other organizations and if not ultimately on our own, which it’s going to be really difficult,” said Cervera. “I’m hoping and praying there are organizations out there that would help. I have tried and my daughter has tried helping out, looking for so many. We’ve just been hitting a lot of brick walls,” said Vidal.She salvaged a few meaningful items from her bedroom, including her Virgen de Guadalupe medal that her boyfriend found in the rubble.
