MIAMI (CBSMiami) ? A Christmas Eve drive was held to help a southwest Miami-Dade family who lost everything when their home was destroyed in a fire on Sunday.
The Rodriguez family, who lived in the home at 15200 SW 184th Street, was able to get out safely before the swift moving fire gutted their home, according to Miami-Dade Fire Rescue spokesman Lt. Arnold Piedrahita Jr.
Everything in the home, including Christmas gifts for the couple?s 13-year old son and seven-year old daughter, was destroyed.
Pastor Luis Couvertier organized the drive at the children?s school ? Gladeview Christian School at 12201 SW 26th Street.
?Out of nowhere I heard my son screaming ?fire, fire, fire,?? said Haender ?Cubita? Rodriguez, a professional MMA fighter. ?I blinked and man, everything was gone!?
Rodriguez?s 13-year-old son and seven-year-old daughter were both inside the home at the time of the fire, and with their father?s help, were able to make it out safely.
Rodriguez?s wife, Aymara, was at work when she says she got an email alert about the fire.
?I started calling the house and there was no answer, so I panicked and started calling and calling my mom and nobody would answer,? said Mrs. Rodriguez.
She then rushed home, where she found her husband and kids safe. Mrs. Rodriguez and her husband say they can only take everything from here one step at a time.
?We live day by day. I?m going to keep asking my God to give me another day pretty much,? he said.
?If I get one more day, with God?s help I?ll make it happen for us again.?
