Description
Two years ago, Christina Edwards bought what she calls her New Orleans dream house.
“This was obviously a deck. This was kind of a patio area,” Edwards said, pointing to the home. “This is the apartment side that I rent out and then me and the kids live on the other side.”
For this single mom, the duplex home on Napoleon Avenue was a way to support her teenage son and young daughter, until Saturday morning. While picking someone up from the airport her phone rang.
“At 7:15 my son called and said, ‘Mom, the house is on fire,’” Edwards said.
Flames tore through the back of her more than 100-year-old home.
