Our friend Carl has always been a steady, kind presence in the lives of those around him. After losing his wife, Cookie, whom so many of us loved; he was faced with another unimaginable loss when his home was destroyed by fire on one of the coldest mornings of the year, February 7, 2026. Everything was lost.

Now more than ever, Carl needs his community to come alongside him. Through faith and compassion, we can help provide shelter, basic necessities, and hope as he starts again. Thank you for showing up for Carl in this moment. Your generosity, big or small, will make a meaningful difference in helping him rebuild.
