<div>On Saturday, January 24, 2026, before the storm that swept most states in the country, our neighbor's home became rapidly engulfed in flames, and thick, black smoke billowed from everywhere. Luckily, off-duty Police Chief Dan Hyman happened upon the scene. By grabbing a nearby ladder and shouting out, he saved a man who had been sleeping upstairs. Chief Hyman guided the man to safety even before the fire trucks arrived.

<div>We are tremendously grateful to the courageous heroes that fought the fire and saved the lives of everyone inside! So many compassionate police officers and others supported them with emergency services!

<div><strong>You can be a hero too if you donate any amount towards helping this wonderful family secure housing after losing everything.</strong> The funds will go towards housing in Suffern, where their children go to school, and some necessities as they get back on their feet.

</div>

</div>

<div>I've known the family since they moved in next door a few years ago, and I cannot rest until I know they are safely housed. I will never forget the many acts of kindness I witnessed from passersby and emergency personnel. <strong>You can add your own act of kindness by donating.</strong> The family has given me permission to tell their story here. Please help if you can.
