The Chandler family experienced a devastating house fire late in the night on September 7, 2026. We are beyond thankful that Shane, Stephanie and their children Charlotte (9) and Miles (7) were able to evacuate unharmed. Sadly, the fire completely engulfed the house, destroying every possession.

On behalf of the Chandler family, we are starting this fund to assist with the next steps in recovering from this unimaginable loss. Please consider donating to help with immediate needs, temporary housing, and the resources needed to begin to rebuild.

Stephanie and Shane are the friends and neighbors who have never hesitated to help those in need and volunteer their time in the Savage and Prior Lake communities. We are heartbroken to see such a loving and selfless young family lose every physical token of the memories they have made together, including the cherished birthday gifts Miles received just the day before.

Beyond monetary donations, please consider leaving a message of love and support as we wrap our arms around our friends in this difficult time.

We would also like to thank the emergency response crews for all their efforts.
