Donate to Rebuild The Heil's Family Life

And the story continues...... following the foreclosure of Serenity Funeral Chapel and Rock Creek Celebration Center, all real estate and 20 yearss of business and personal assetts on May 9th, my daughter's birthday 2025, a devastating RV fire in Lyon County, Nevada, annihilated our lives. Destroying nearly every asset, a classic Mustang convertible, with 18000 miles on it, my 19 foot deck boat, 2022 45 foot fifth wheel, toy hauler, our cargo container, home and every asset I had brought from Idaho to rebuild our lives here. 90% of the assets that I was able to salvage before the foreclosure and bring here to our new life, they were just gone in minutes. That was 3 weeks after the foreclosure, on June 4th, the day after my other daughter's birthday..

The trauma of these events created chaos , extensive grief and feelings of hopelessness. My spirit was weak yet not completely broken. Desperate cry for help. I started the pot, the healing with mental health professionals, and I'm working with multiple professionals.\n In a supportive, outpatient environment. My children live 500 miles away from me. I haven't seen them in over 3 months. it'\n S not easy. I won't pretend that I don't falter multiple times a week. Multiple times a day, my emotions on the full gamut, I'm working through the trauma on a road to mental health healing, it won't happen overnight. It's going to take a lot of time and a lot of investment. Forging a path fostart once again.

I work to foster an environment where I can be reunited with my children again.

We have been homeless for 3 years since discovery of the toxic mold in our home.

We were working through a resilient family's team, and they were assisting us with the mental health support.\n And space to rebuild our lives, which is what I did here for a year and a 1/2, I worked really hard to get past everything we lost in Idaho and we had a good start, we had a great start going. Things were really looking up and then the fire.

I won't pretend Im ok, because I am not , but I WILL get there. Being separated as a family so far apart when we desperately need to be with one another is not the answer to healing our family.

The answer is compassion, love, empathy, understanding, community support, patience, positive encouragement to empower our spirit so we can once again return to functional lives and a functional family.

These things are nearly impossible without finances of which I have none.

My mother is supporting me the best she can and I'm very grateful for that and very grateful to her as she's taking care of my children during this time, providing them with a loving, caring environment and a stable home while their mom works to fix this. I'm grateful for anything that keeps us moving forward.

I dedicated my working career to healing people as a death care worker/mortician. My visions of the future of memorialization birthed the idea for the event center style celebration of life and to provide a great VIP venue that caters to celebrations of all ages and is family-friendly.

As fate would have it, Covid hit, my world changed, and my focus shifted. I carried immense stress and anxiety and worked overtime caring for others in grief while my own had to be put on hold. It seemed like my world wouldn't stop spinning and I couldn't catch a break, one bad thing after another crashing down on myself and my family. I became very ill with recurrent systemic immune issues. We rode the landslide as long as possible, but knew we needed to get off of that toxic mountain that had become our new reality. The first chance I got to escape the avalanche that was suffocating us, we took a giant leap of faith.

We landed in a beautiful, mystical land with kindness and compassion. My children are happy here, as am I, with the new life we are building. Riding that landslide completely wiped us out of all liquid assets and left me without an income. Our world turned upside down, as did our finances. I am unable to work due to my own medical issues and need to be with my kids full-time, trying to heal us all from the tremendous losses we have endured.

If I ever helped you through dark and difficult times, companioned you in grief, or was just there as a friend who had your back, I am now asking for that care and compassion in return.

We lost our home, my business closed, livelihood stripped away, and my children watched the only life they ever knew disappear over a matter of months. We picked up what we could and headed out on a journey of recovery to build a new life.

We are so close to having power on our land. It's getting cold at night, and running generator gas is outrageously expensive. Our biggest roadblock is engineered house plans for a building permit. I have shopped around companies and they are wanting 10-15k for the plans.

We would be forever grateful for a warm winter with lights, not lanterns. Engineered plans, donated building materials, furnishings, and funds for plans and permits would give us a fighting chance at making our new life better and providing us with a home for healing.

We are trying to build a 1200 sq ft home out of 4 cargo containers.

Please help us rebuild a simple life. My children did not deserve this. Please help me give them a stable home so they can be grounded again. They are my number one priority, but I can't do it alone. It takes a village, and I need mine now.

Forever grateful,

Our family:

Heidi, Bradèe, Laramee, Zeauxee, Harlee, 5 cats, 2 dogs, 6 puppies, 4 pigs, and 2 lizards
