Help Us Rebuild After a Devastating Fire

In a matter of moments, our entire world was turned to ashes.

A catastrophic shop fire took everything from us, leaving us to start over from total ground zero. We lost not only our livelihood but also our home, our belongings, and the life we worked so hard to build. Despite doing everything I could to save the shop and everything inside, the loss was overwhelming and unavoidable.

I suffered burns in the fire, and while I am healing, the emotional and financial toll has been immense. There were other heartbreaking losses as well, and out of respect for those affected, we wish to grieve them privately.

We truly have nothing left. I lost all of my kennels, training gear, and everything I have ever owned. Bella lost nearly all of her clothing, and Dustin lost his tools—his entire livelihood and the result of years of hard work. His trucks were also severely damaged and are likely totaled. Every piece of our stability disappeared in a single night.

Unfortunately, due to circumstances we cannot disclose, insurance will not be able to help us recover these losses.

In the wake of this tragedy, we are doing everything we can to rebuild. I am returning to work as a server and putting my dream of full-time dog training on hold. Right now, our priority is simple: to ensure our family and our dogs are safe and secure.

Our goal is to raise enough to purchase a camper so we can have a safe place to live while we work toward buying a small piece of land and starting over. We are committed to rebuilding our lives from the ground up—smaller, humbler, and stronger than before.

We are not asking for more than what we need to begin again. Every donation will go toward securing safe housing, replacing essential items, and helping us rebuild after this devastating loss. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean the world to us.

This has been the most heartbreaking chapter of our lives. All we want now is for our family and our dogs to be safe, and for the chance to start over.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support during this incredibly difficult time. Your generosity gives us hope when we need it most.
