I feel so shallow for being so heartbroken over losing my plants but I know you guys will understand. We lost everything, including our pets. Everything sucks but nobody seems to care about my 38 plants – 11 hoyas that perished. Please send hugs and strength. You guys are my favourite subreddit.

I won’t pretend to have words for this. I’m sorry this happened 😔
Oh no. I’m so, so sorry, especially about your pets but also about your plants and other possessions. I’m glad you and your family members are safe and I hope no one died or was seriously injured.
Where did this happen? When you are on your feet again, I bet you could post here or on FB to see if people would send free cuttings. They can’t replace your losses but so many plant people are so generous.
It’s not shallow to be sad about your plants, you poured a lot of love and care into them and they were important to you ❤️ I’m so so sorry this happened.
I’m sorry about your plants. But your pets too? Omg That’s my absolute biggest fear. I have no words, but sending lots of virtual hugs. I can’t imagine how difficult this is.
Oh my goodness! Im so sorry. Your pets too. Your plants, all that is lovable. How did this fire happen? were you at home at the time? so glad you got out. Take care
So sorry for that. The loss of beloved ones and beloved things. Sending best wishes 💔🍀
I had a fire scare this summer and never felt anything like that panic. I can’t imagine what you’re going through. I am so sorry.
Omg- I can’t imagine the loss of beloved things, no matter what they were. I’m so, so sorry.
Hey there! I’m in Fall River and I will share Hoya cuttings with you when you’re ready!
Omg I can’t imagine losing my pets, I’d be so heartbroken. So sorry for your loss 😔
Lordy that’s a massive stick framed building to not have sprinklers. What a disaster waiting to happen. I’m sorry for your loss, especially the plants and pets. Impossible to replace.
Wow I’m so sorry, that’s horrible.
I’m not crying, it’s allergies 🤧 😢
If you are truly focused on losing plants…in this situation…I don’t know. I get it. Plants are personal and beloved. But you lost pets, and people could have died. You have a lot of thinking to do.
Hey OP, I’m local to you and have a spare Hoya and will put your name on it for when you’re settled and ready to rebuild.
I’m so sorry friend! This is giving me flash backs from when I went through the same thing two years ago. I lost everything except my cat and my monstera. I’m back on my feet and have a new plant collection including several Hoyas. While it was an incredibly devastating experience, it was beautiful to see how kind and selfless people can be. I would love to share some cuttings with you, so feel free to reach out! Keep your chin up… it gets better. Sending lots of love and positive vibes 💕
I’m in Windsor, I have some hoyas rooted that you are more than welcome to, and I can also take cuttings from other hoyas to get you started again. If you’re interested DM me and we can figure something out. No rush, I’m sure you have more pressing matters to deal with, the offer stands whenever you’re ready to start building your collection again.
Im so sorry. I cant even imagine. Grief and mourning arent just for people or pets- you got hit multiple times by loss, green friends included. Id be devastated if i lost my collection. Sending you love and best wishes.
I’m so sorry for your loss, it would be devastating to lose my pets , home and plants.
I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss, I cannot imagine. I live nearby and I’d be happy to donate some plants when you’re ready.
I’m so sorry this happened to you. This sounds awful on so many counts and my heart is with you and your family as you mourn and work to rebuild your lives. If you’re open to it, I would love to order you a new Hoya when you’re ready to restart your collection.
I’m so sorry-be kind to yourself-grief is a hell of a ride💚
I’m so heartbroken for you. How scary, sending the biggest hug. I live in Ontario but would definitely love to send any cuttings you might like when you are ready to receive them. 🤗
I’m so freaking sorry about your plants but especially about your pets. OMG. This is one of my nightmares. Hugs. How heartbreaking.
I’m so so sorry. I can’t even imagine the heartbreak. So sorry for all your losses
I have Hoyas to share. I know you’ll have a lot to focus on right now but when you are ready just shoot me a PM and I will help you build back your collection. Sending the biggest hugs. 🩷
I am so happy you are ok. I am happy to send you a cutting of my 1 Hoya and purchase one for you! My thoughts are with you. 💔
I’m sorry for your loss. I’d be out of my mind if i lost my pets.
I was in Shelburne for the first time in May and I fell in absolute love! My Grammy was from PEI so I never had occasion as my Maritimes times were spend on the Isl. I’m so sorry for your losses plants included.
I hope you are safe and together for the foreseeable future and that God showers you with his blessings.
I’m so sorry 🙁
So so sorry for your pets….plants can be replaced.
