<div><span style="color:inherit;font-family:inherit;font-size:1rem;">Dear Friends, Family, and Generous Supporters,</span>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We’re reaching out during one of the most difficult times our family has ever faced. A devastating fire recently destroyed our family home—a place filled with over 20 years of love, laughter, and countless memories.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The most important thing: all of us—our parents, we kids, and even our beloved pets—made it out safely. For that, we are endlessly grateful. But the emotional and financial loss is still overwhelming. The home that raised us, sheltered us, and brought our family together through every chapter of life is now gone.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The fire took nearly everything: our clothes, furniture, cherished keepsakes, and everyday essentials. And while insurance may help with part of the loss, the reality is that it won’t come close to covering the costs of temporary housing, replacing basics, or rebuilding what we had.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We—my brothers and I—are doing everything we can to support our parents and each other during this time, but we need help to carry the load. That’s why we’ve created this GoFundMe: to ask for the support of our extended community in helping us get back on our feet.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward helping our family recover. If you can’t give financially, sharing this page would mean the world to us.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for your love, your generosity, and for standing with our family as we begin the long journey of rebuilding our lives from the ashes.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With heartfelt thanks,

</div>

<div>on behalf of our entire family

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />
