The units 1004, 1005, and 1006 were all deemed uninhabitable, according to police. Read More: 2nd Alarm Condo Building Fire Displaces 3 Units In Hillsborough

"As renters in Unit 1004, my roommate and I lost most of our belongings and our home was deemed uninhabitable,"
Quiros wrote. "Clothes, electronics, and furniture were destroyed, and we are now facing the difficult process of picking up what little we have left and finding a new place to live."

Quiros said they are now trying to recover while also securing temporary housing and making plans to move.

Any donated funds would go toward temporary housing, replacing essentials and moving expenses, according to the fundraiser.

"We never imagined we would be in this situation, but we are reaching out to our community for help," Quiros wrote.

The renters are asking for monetary donations, gift cards, clothes, and household items.
