Hello, my name is Jay.

Last night, my friend Blaine, his wife, and little girl lost their home and all of their belongings to a fire that started from another boat and spread so quickly they could do nothing but watch as everything they own burned and sank to the bottom of the lake.

I am asking the Lake of the Ozarks community to please help this family to rebuild as they need to start from ground zero again. They need clothes, food, personal hygiene products, money for a place to stay until they can get back on their feet, etc.

From my understanding, there wasn't an insurance policy covering the dock, so this is gonna be incredibly taxing for them to rebuild their lives.

For transparency I'd like to add that Monica Ireland, who is Blaines daughter has been added to this to verify Blaines identity and Blaine has asked for me to be the beneficiary of the donations due to him not having a bank account. I will have the funds deposited into my account then will pull those funds and give them to Blaine and his family.
