"I was screaming at everyone, ‘Run, run for your lives, run’. All I was thinking about was getting my baby safely into the street," said Leslie Galvez.
"This bedroom, I kept running back to trying to find, my cat who ran under the bed, and all we have is bones under here," he said, tearing up while pointing to the back of the unit Saturday."Going through everything you worked for and built over the past five years, it’s crushing," said Martin. Yesterday was Madai's birthday. She and her mother were preparing a birthday dinner before the fire broke out. Now her special day is memorable for all the wrong reasons.Leslie and her husband Gadiel Galvez live across the street from their in-laws. Their home was still standing following the fire, but the loss of their parent's and sibling's home, directly across from their own, has been devastating.
The Galvez family says tragically, their nextdoor neighbors, who they called Zach and Pat, lost their lives in the fire."Every day he would wave at my little boy and everything has changed now, everything is different," said Leslie."I know he was loved by his family, and we pray for his family members that are trying to go through the grief," said Madai.
