On March 11, 2026, Dan and Diana Schooley lost their home and everything in it in a house fire. Along with their belongings, they also lost three beloved pets — their dog Boo and two cats, Panther and Milo.

Diana is Phil’s sister, and as their family, we wanted to create a way for friends, neighbors, and anyone who would like to help to come alongside them during this difficult time.

Anyone who knows Diana knows she has a generous heart and a deep love for animals, especially rescue dogs who need a safe place to land. Dan and Diana have been a vital part of their community for years. Even in the midst of this loss, they are caring for their four surviving dogs while working to secure long-term housing and begin the long process of rebuilding their lives.

We are starting this fundraiser to help with temporary living expenses and the basic necessities they will need in the weeks and months ahead.

If you feel led to give, any amount will help lighten the burden during this difficult season. If you are unable to give, your prayers and sharing this page are deeply appreciated.

— Michelle and Phil Rayburn
