Help Melanie Get Back on Her Feet

Donation protected

This past Saturday, August 28th, a fire erupted at our sister's apartment in Franklin, Massachusetts. Thankfully, Melanie was visiting our family in Connecticut, so she is safe. However, she lost everything in the fire, including her two cats, which, if you know Melanie, were her babies. The only things she owns now are the few items she packed for her weekend trip to visit our parents. Our family is asking for support to help Mel start rebuilding her life. Any contributions would be greatly appreciated. We are hoping to help her afford replacing everything she once owned (all furniture, clothes, kitchenware, etc.) As she is starting from scratch and needs to find a new place to live, any donations will go a long way. Thank you so much!


News report from the fire (Incorrect headline about 2 dogs - they meant Melanie's 2 cats)

2-Alarm Fire


While we would be so grateful for donations, we're also sure Mel would love to hear from everyone, so please don't hesitate to reach out. We want her to know everyone has her back during this devastating time.


If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Erica , Jordan, or Jess for more information.
