Hi my name is Theodora and I am helping to raise funds alongside Helen Osikhena on behalf of the Ariyo family after a devastating fire destroyed their home on January 3rd.  All funds generated from both fundraising appeals will be forwarded to the family.

For 22 years, this house was more than just a building, it was the heart of the Ariyo family’s life. It held decades of memories, milestones, and treasured belongings accumulated over a lifetime. In a matter of moments, a tragic fire reduced everything they owned to ashes.

The Ariyo family escaped with their lives, but nothing else. Every possession, clothing, furniture, documents, keepsakes was lost including their adorable cat 2.0. The only belongings they have today are the clothes they were wearing at the time of the fire.

Now displaced and facing the overwhelming task of starting over from nothing, the family urgently needs support. Funds raised will help provide immediate necessities such as clothing, food, temporary housing, and basic household items, as well as assistance toward rebuilding their lives after this unimaginable loss.

This is a time for compassion and community. Any donation, no matter the size, will help ease the burden and remind the Ariyo family that they are not alone. If you’re unable to give, please consider sharing this fundraiser to help reach others who may be able to help.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support during this critical time.
