I’m starting this fundraiser for my parents and little sister because I want to help them rebuild after losing everything in a house fire. Seeing them go through this heartbreak has been so hard, and I want to do everything I can to support them as they start over.

On Christmas night, my family’s world changed forever. While they were away, a fire broke out and destroyed their home. We are heartbroken to have lost our beloved pets in the fire, and returning to find everything gone has been devastating. We are so grateful everyone is safe and that we still have each other, but the loss of their home and pets has left everyone feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to turn next. To make things even harder, my parents did not have insurance, so they are truly starting over from nothing.

The funds raised will help us buy a trailer to place on our property, and will also go toward essentials like clothing and food. Every bit of support will help us take the next step toward rebuilding our lives and finding some sense of normalcy again. Coming home on Christmas night to find our pets and home gone is something we never imagined. We are thankful for the love and support of our community, and anything you can give—whether it’s a prayer, donation or simply sharing our story—means the world to us. Please keep our family in your prayers as we work through this difficult time and try to rebuild our life. Thank you, from the Oglesby & Stacy family Bakersfield CA 93307
