Hello, my name is Tim and I am putting this together for my mother, Sarah, after her house was just destroyed in a fire. My mother lives with her husband Dale, my little 11-year-old sister Clover, 2 cats, and their dog. During the day of Halloween, 10/31/25, around 4 PM, my mother arrived home from work to see her house up in smoke. There was a Wind Advisory for that day as the wind was blowing ferociously. The cause of the fire is unknown at this time. They had 2 cats and their dog inside, and thankfully the dog was saved from the blaze, but as the cats were recovered, it appears they succumbed to the smoke and they did not survive.

They lost nearly all of their possessions and the home is deemed uninhabitable as the floor might give in and the ceiling could cave in. Decades of memories and treasures lost, but we are thankful for the lives saved and the quick work of the firefighters to put out the blaze.

We are asking for anything to help get them back on their feet and to purchase clothing, school supplies for Clover, boots for Dale, food, etc. They are going to have to replace everything and rebuild. Thank you for taking the time to read and in advance thank you for any available donations; they are going to go straight to my mom.
