Aid Joan Valery and Pets After Tragic Fire
Donation protected
On the night of January 26, 2025, Joan Valery experienced an unimaginable tragedy when a devastating house fire tore through her home. In the blink of an eye, she lost everything, including her beloved pet bird, Kiwi.
Joan was left with nothing but the clothes on her back, but she is incredibly grateful to be alive, thanks to the selfless actions of her neighbors. They heard her screams and rushed to her rescue, helping her and her surviving pets escape the flames. Joan’s three dogs—Cosette, Boton, and Danny—and two cats—Molly and Kratos—are safe, but the trauma of losing her home and her cherished bird is a heavy burden to bear.
Joan is a kind soul who has always been there for others, and now, it's our turn to help her. The road to recovery will be long, but together, we can help Joan rebuild her life and give her hope during this overwhelming time.
We are raising funds to assist Joan with immediate needs such as temporary housing, food, clothing, and the care of her surviving pets. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in Joan’s recovery process and help her regain some sense of stability.
Please consider donating, sharing, or offering words of encouragement to show Joan that she’s not alone in this difficult journey. We are truly grateful for your support.
Thank you for your generosity and kindness.
