On October 16 2025 Brian and his son Kingsley lives change in an instant when a fire destroyed their home. Kingsley is 5 about to be 6 on Halloween, he is in Kindergarten. Thankfully Brian and Kingsley are safe however Kingsley lost his best friend Ivy the family dog.
In just a moment they were left with nothing but the clothes on their backs and crocs on their feet at the time. In an instant years of hard work, memories and personal items were lost.
Starting over is going to be very challenging for Brian and Kingsley. We are creating this to help reduce the financial burden that this has caused for Brian. The money raised will go towards finding/ moving into a stable home, replacing basic items, clothes for Brian and Kingsley, furniture, household items, toys and activities for Kingsley, groceries and getting them back on their feet.
We will also be getting an Amazon wish list together and I will try to post that when it’s ready.
This has been extremely difficult for both Brian and Kingsley every little bit of help and support will be greatly appreciated. Even the smallest contributions will make a huge difference for these boys.
Thank you for taking the time to read the story and helping them rebuild their lives.
