Hi, my name is Ariel and I’m reaching out because my home recently burned down. My boyfriend and I have lost everything.

This has been one of the hardest moments of my life. In a matter of minutes, I lost my first home, belongings, my clothing, my furniture, and my cat—all the things that made my home feel like home. I am incredibly grateful to be safe, but rebuilding from nothing is overwhelming.

I’m creating this GoFundMe to help with the immediate essentials: clothing, food, temporary housing, and replacing basic items I need to get back on my feet. Any contribution, no matter the size, will truly make a difference and help me start over during this extremely difficult time.

Thank you so much for your support, your kindness, and for simply taking the time to read my story.
