A young couple loses their home the same day they move in, after fire tears through it.

Bob and Megan Wilczek walked away with the clothes on their backs and their one-month-old daughter. Unfortunately, they weren't able to save their two dogs and all their cats and kittens. They also lost every single possession—including all of their Christmas presents.

It was the home that was supposed to bring them closer to home.

"We wanted to move closer to family,” Bob says.

That home, just outside of Thorp, is now a charred shell of a building; gutted by fire.

"We had just finished moving in," Bob tells us.

Bob and Megan got all their boxes, all their furniture and their pets inside their rented house before leaving for an hour to visit a friend.

"When we came home, I was carrying Alexandra,” Bob says. “I walked in and saw the corner of the house was on fire so I put Alexandra down outside and Megan grabbed her and put her in the van."

Within minutes the entire house was filled with smoke. By the time firefighters got there, Bob says the house was up in flames. Everything inside it was gone.

We lost "all our pictures, my great-grandmother's china cabinet, everything from high school and when we were babies, all of Alexandra’s things from the hospital, everything," Megan tells us.

"All of our family’s Christmas presents,” Bob adds. “It's kind of tough not being able to give them anything because they've given us so much."

Bob, Megan and one-month-old Alexandra are now staying with his mom. But the community is coming together to help the young family in need, donating clothes, blankets, diapers, and Tuesday, boxes of food.

"Mostly I just want to thank everyone that helped us,” Bob says. “There's no way we can ever pay them back, but it's the best Christmas gift. We have the best families and community."

So while they search for anything to salvage, Bob comes across his birth certificate and both are reminded that it could've been so much worse.

"It's bad enough as it is. I can't image if any of us got hurt,” Megan says.

Bob and Megan say they were planning to get insurance starting in January, but had none Sunday when their home burned down. Right now they're looking for a place to live.

If you'd like to help the Wilczeks, there's a fund set up at the Thorp branch of Forward Financial Bank. That address is: P.O. Box 396, Thorp, WI 54771.

Fire investigators say they have not been able to figure out what caused the fire because of the amount of damage.
