Southeast Topeka family works to restore house after September fire caused heavy damage

Robert Jessepe and Cecily Wabaunsee are slowly recovering after a fire ripped through their southeast Topeka home on Sept. 19, leaving them with only the clothes on their back.

“It’s been really hard on us,” Jessepe, who’s on disability, said. “I’m trying to do what I can with what we’ve got.”

Wabaunsee added that they try to stay positive and keep a sense of normalcy for their 13-year-old daughter.
