Emergency Help Needed! Storm Uproots Tree...
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Brittany and I'm fundraising for emergency financial relief for my dear friend Mikayla Turner who has been displaced from her home due to the disastrous thunderstorm on the night of 9/7/23 in Richmond, Virginia. Mikayla was enjoying a quiet evening at home with her partner and animals, (they were thankfully in the living room and not the bedroom), when a very large oak tree crashed through the ceiling above them, with drywall and debris coming down onto them, causing irreparable damage to so much of her home and belongings. Mikayla, her partner Zack, and her animals were miraculously able to escape with minimal injuries, however, the physical damage to her home seems insurmountable. This devastating loss has destroyed her bedroom, living room and more, resulting in loss of furniture, clothing, and many precious possessions that cannot be recovered or replaced. Most of all, I can't imagine the huge emotional distress this has placed on her mentally. We are truly just grateful that they are alive after such a near death experience. I hope this go fund me can ease some of her upcoming financial burdens.
Mikayla is one of the smartest, most generous, most resilient, and certainly most hardworking friends that I have in my life and anyone that knows her would say the same. She is an avid lover of dogs and music, especially Tipper and Papadosio. We have such a wonderful community, from all over the states, that I know this will reach! I hope and believe that we and so many others, can all come together with love, support and donations for her. Even if you cannot financially contribute, please consider sharing this to help us reach a wider audience! As I mentioned, Mikayla has such a financial burden to face after this disaster that the steps ahead are still uncertain. If you would be so kind to support Mikayla directly, the cashapp is $mikaylaihilani and venmo is @zack-thayer Any and all help is tremendously appreciated, thank you all so much for your support!
