Rebuilding Home and Hope After Devastating Fire

Hello Everyone,

I am Chetan, and I find myself reaching out to you in a time of great need, a moment that requires a level of vulnerability I never anticipated. Just a few days ago, my family and I faced a life-altering event—a house fire that has left us with nothing but the clothes on our backs.

Fortunately, my wife, our 8-month-old baby, and I were not at home during the incident, and we are immensely grateful for the swift response of the firefighters who rescued our beloved dogs. However, the devastation is overwhelming.

In the aftermath, I've had to confront the reality that asking for help is not only necessary but also incredibly challenging. It's a humbling experience that requires acknowledging our vulnerability, and understanding that, sometimes, strength is found in reaching out for support.

After discussions with the insurance company, we've learned they will indemnify for some of the damages. While this is a relief, it is nowhere near enough to cover all the repairs and clean up. We find ourselves in need of a miracle to even get close to recovering.

Our home, filled with memories and dreams, is now uninhabitable. The toxic smoke has stained everything black, leaving us with nothing salvageable. My work equipment as a photographer and my wife's home-based beauty salon have been completely wiped out, along with all our equipment.

As parents, seeing our 8-month-old daughter lose her toys, clothes, crib, and nursery play area has added an extra layer of heartbreak. We're facing a daunting challenge of rebuilding not just our home but also our lives.

Your generosity will contribute to repairing and rebuilding our home, replacing essential work equipment, and providing our baby with the basic necessities she deserves.

We understand that times are tough for many, and we appreciate any support you can offer—whether it's a donation, sharing our story, or simply keeping our family in your thoughts. Together, we can turn this tragedy into an opportunity for a fresh start.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story, and for any support you can provide. We are eternally grateful.

Chetan, Ceci and Mila Gohil
