Help the Baranowsky Family Recover After Devastating Lightning Strike
On Monday, May 5, 2025, the home of Frank Baranowsky was struck by lightning, resulting in extensive water and smoke damage. Frank, his daughter Megan, and his three grandsons—Christian, Corbin, and Carter—along with their beloved dogs Ben and Jerry, and their cat Jeda, have all been displaced from their home and are now facing the difficult challenge of rebuilding their lives.
Tragically, the family’s home was not covered by insurance, and they have lost most of their belongings. They now face the urgent need to secure temporary housing and replace essential items.
We are raising funds to help the Baranowsky family cover immediate living expenses, basic necessities, and costs associated with recovery and rebuilding. Any contribution—no matter the size—will make a meaningful difference in helping them get back on their feet.
Thank you for your kindness and support
