The Christmas Day fire broke out about 1 a.m. in a downstairs unit in an apartment building on 29th Place near 50th Court in Cicero, according to the family.
All of the family’s Christmas gifts had been hidden under the back stairs, and were lost in the fire, said the girls’ father, Julio Avila. Their oldest daughter had wanted a cellphone for Christmas, the middle daughter wanted earbuds, and the youngest wanted dolls, especially a Little Mermaid, he said.Radice was thankful that her nieces, who are typically heavy sleepers, saw the smoke and alerted the family.
“I started a GoFundMe for my family, and I’m am just amazed by how many people have given money, sent clothing and offered furniture,” she said. “It shows that goodwill still exists.”Julio Avila walks near his burned family home on Dec. 27, 2022, in Cicero. Avila, his pregnant wife and three daughters lost their Cicero home and all their belongings in the Christmas Day fire.
In an undated photo, Lupe Avila is with her daughters Isabel, 13, Angela, 11, and Lupita, 3. Their Cicero apartment burned down on Christmas Day. Currently, the family is staying at a hotel near their burned-down apartment so that the girls can return to school after their winter break ends. Their mother, Lupe Avila, is taking the loss hard. She is seven months pregnant with a boy due in February, Radice said.
