This past week, our dear friend Billy lost everything. A devastating fire tore through his building, and while we are all relieved that Billy is safe, he walked away with nothing but the clothes on his back.

​In the chaos of the fire, Billy’s first instinct was to ensure the safety of those around him, helping his neighbors and their cats escape the building. But as the smoke cleared, the reality set in: his home, his furniture, his clothes, and a lifetime of irreplaceable memories and valuables were gone.

​Billy is now starting over from zero.

​We are reaching out to the community he has touched so deeply to help him get back on his feet. The road ahead is long, and the immediate needs are overwhelming. The funds raised here will go directly toward:

​Securing a new apartment (deposit and first month's rent).

​Essential furniture (a bed to sleep on, a place to sit, and basic household items).

​Replacing his wardrobe, from everyday clothes to shoes and coats.

​Daily necessities that we often take for granted like toiletries, kitchenware, and groceries.

​Billy has spent years being a person who shows up for others. He is the kind of friend who leaves a lasting impact on everyone he meets. Now, we want to show up for him.

​Losing your sanctuary and every physical memory you own is a weight no one should carry alone. Any contribution, no matter the size, will help Billy find a new place to call home and begin the process of replacing what was lost. If you aren’t able to donate, please consider sharing this story to help us reach as many people as possible.

​Thank you for your kindness, your generosity, and for helping Billy rebuild.
