I'm so sorry to hear of your terrible loss. It's something to be thankful for, I suppose, that your mom wasn't hurt. I don't know what the situation is like there but I guess that the house owner would have insurance, so it's not as if your mom would have to pay.
It is very sad to lose your sentimental stuff but you do still have your memories. You might (when things have been sorted out a bit) start putting those into a book. That's the only constructive suggestion I can make in that respect.
You might start by setting up a simple website with the story and your PayPal link on it. PayPal could help you with that, I think. They have buttons which can be put on a website for that purpose. I know it sounds somewhat heartless to say it but people would probably want some evidence that your story is true. I am not sure how you would provide that, to be honest.
