Henry Porter and Molly

A Stateline man is struggling to get back on his feet after the mobile home he was living in on Lower Kingsbury Grade was destroyed by fire on April 23.

Henry Porter was in class at Western Nevada College in Carson City when the fire started.

The fire report is not done.

He’s having a hard time finding a place to live with a dog. For now he’s in a hotel in Gardnerville. The animal was saved that fateful day when neighbors retrieved her from the back yard.

A GoFundMe account has been set up to help Porter with replacing lost personal items. He didn’t have renter’s insurance.
