the solidarity of the inhabitants to help a family affected by a fire

In Rezé near Nantes, Saturday August 14 took on the appearance of a nightmare for Nahid’s family. The young 30-year-old saw half of her parents’ house go up in flames, probably because of a badly extinguished candle. Nahid, who narrowly escaped the fire while his parents were away, is now helping them manage payment for the work. Because because of a dispute with their insurer, these Rezéens were opposed to an end of inadmissibility when they tried to make play their home insurance.

25,000 euros of work to be paid

In the completely charred debris of his parents’ house, Nahid still struggles to realize the violence of the fire. The young woman who looked after the cat narrowly escaped the flames. “I still smell the smell, sometimes when I get home I still smell it. And then all that black, that soot …she laments. She now looks at the soot-black walls, the shattered windows and the destroyed frame.

In all, 25,000 euros to pay for repairs, namely repairing the framework, redoing the false ceilings, treating the walls. All this, because of a unresolved dispute with the insurer. A shame for Nahid, who describes his father and his stepmother as “meticulous, even over-insured”. “The problem comes from a computer problem that is not due to my father, we have all the documents to re-apply“. But the situation gets bogged down, and the parents, overwhelmed by an insurer who claims hundreds of euros, spends several months without insurance.
