Assist Jerry Parham and Hailey in Overcoming Tragedy

Hello, I'm Jerry Parham of Clarksville, TX, a 77-year-old retired healthcare worker who lost my home to a fire on 1/30/25. Also lost was my home recording studio for songwriting and production of my "Texas Boomer" YouTube channel.

After paying increasing insurance for years, I opted to change companies seeking more manageable rates. The new company declined my application, stating no reason except to contact the credit bureau. With an 800+ score, I questioned the motivation and began shopping. My luck ran out at midnight on 1/30/25!

Two days prior, one of my dogs was poisoned, and the fire began on the patio at the dog house, possibly arson, possibly electrical! Inadequate determination so far!

I have had family and friends support so far, but much is needed to clean up the mess and keep going.

There are some medical bills also due to a fall dislocating my right shoulder while salvaging things from the rubble. Recovery is severely limiting my activity.

I'm praying every day that God will help me find a way out of this mess, but living in my RV with my surviving dog, Hailey, leaves things difficult.

I saved four of my guitars and my pickup truck but lost most everything else! The fall has limited my ability to hold a guitar pick as my right hand/arm has nerve damage, so losing the ability to play music really wears on you!

Anyway, anything people can do to help will be so much appreciated! My initial goal of $25K should allow me to clean up the rubble and utilize my slab and utilities as an RV pad that is livable, but won't come close to the ~$250K lost. So if you can help an old man and his dog out, THANKS!
