I purchased a home here in Benton City because it is a small town with a close community. Our neighborhood was peaceful, quiet, and full of beauty. Yesterday, a brush fire burned my house, and now my family and I are trying to get through the immediate aftermath of losing our home. We were fortunate enough to return back as smoke-filled winds hovered over our home and rescue my 2 Blue Heelers, my French Bulldog, my Yorkie and my cat.

Right now, we are in need of housing, food, clothing, and other necessities. Everything has changed so suddenly, and we are focused on getting the basics in place so we can recover day by day.

The funds from this fundraiser will go toward essential toiletries, food, and possibly a temporary place for us to stay while we recuperate. Every donation will help us meet urgent everyday needs during this incredibly difficult time.

If you are able to help, any contribution or share would mean so much to my family and me. Thank you for supporting us as we work to get back on our feet.
