Artificial Brain bassist Samuel Smith and his partner Tania unfortunately lost their home in a fire and ensuing water damage. Samuel and Tania, as well as their cat Cooper, made it out okay, but the apartment wasn't so lucky.
A GoFundMe to help with the costs of dealing with such a horrendous situation has been launched.
"Hey everyone,
"Tania and I lost our apartment last night. There was a fire in a storage area behind our building, and by the time anyone noticed what was going on, it was raging. We made it out safely with our cat, Cooper, but we need to move immediately — as our home is uninhabitable now.
"One room was basically totally destroyed — a closet full of clothes, a bookshelf, a bed, art supplies, and lots of stuff with sentimental value. What wasn't burned was water damaged. There's also now a gaping hole in the wall there. The rest of the apartment was covered in smoke.
"Since so many of you offered to help, we decided to set up this GoFundMe. We so appreciate all of you, and your care and concern.
"Thanks,
"Sam"
