Emerson and Maya Rise from the Ashes

Dear friends, family and kind-hearted supporters,

I'm writing to ask for help for my Godson Emerson and his girlfriend Maya, who are facing a life-altering event. On May 4th 2025 they're rented home was destroyed in a fire intentionally set by a dangerous and erratic neighbor. Thankfully, they weren't home at the time, but the house is now uninhabitable, their belongings are damaged and they've been displaced with nowhere to return.

This tragedy comes less than 2 years after another traumatic event. In July 2023, Emerson and Maya were caught in a crossfire of a police incident - the result of a violent offender- totaling Emerson's car. Though they were innocent bystanders, the experience left them deeply shaken and took a serious toll on their physical and emotional well-being.

They had just begun to heal when this fire turned their world upside down once again.

We're raising funds to help Emerson and Maya secure safe housing and find some stability during this incredibly difficult time. Any amount helps - and if you're unable to donate please consider sharing their story.

Thank you for your kindness and compassion.

With gratitude, Tracey
