A Detroit family is asking for prayers, help and guidance Monday night after a fire destroyed their home last week.
The flames struck Friday morning at the home on Luther Street in Southwest Detroit. One of the daughters of the Mayorga family is in a medically induced coma.
Family members said they’re also appreciative of the help they’re receiving.
“He said, ‘The house is on fire,’” Joe Mayorga said.
The story is painful for Mayorga after his son called, panicked, about a fire at their home. When Mayorga got there, one of his daughters was still trapped inside the home.
“She was still in the house,” Mayorga said. “I yelled out, ‘My baby!’ This firefighter -- he heard me and rushed in and brought her out.”
