UPDATE: An early morning apartment fire on Sunday left five people displaced.
Madonna Smarr, a single mom of three, was having a slumber party for her youngest daughter, Madonna Jr.
Soon after Smarr got the kids to sleep, her 12- year old daughter Miracle woke up to the smoke and flames.
"I woke up to the smoke and ran screaming to my mom, and we got everyone outside," Miracle said.
"We might not have a place to stay or [any]more materialistic things, [but] these babies are alive," Smarr said. "I don't know what I would have done if I lost one."
This holiday season the family may have lost almost everything, but they still have each other. An invaluable gift no fire can destroy.
