Family Home Lost in Fire - Support Needed

My house caught on fire in the late afternoon of 7/5/25, and we lost everything in the garage, kitchen/dining room, and living room. We also unfortunately lost one of our cats as well. The bedrooms were not burnt but have significant smoke damage. Two of our classics sustained damage as well; one of the classics is my dad's daily, so we are down two cars.

My dad has been a volunteer with the Apple Valley Search and Rescue unit for the last 20 years, and his equipment was also lost in the fire. We have two horses that thankfully did not sustain any injuries, but our water has been shut off for the time being, so it is going to be difficult to keep their water buckets full.

We are at a loss for words and don’t know quite where to begin with finding somewhere to rent until we can get the house rebuilt. Anything helps, we would be really grateful if anyone can share this fundraiser.

My dad and I were gone not even a full hour when my brother called to let us know the house caught fire. Thankfully, he and my sister got out with no injuries. Anything helps, and we are so appreciative that you have taken the time to read this.
