My name is Trenton Boltz, and pictured is my mother, Jennifer Boltz. On July 1st around 11:30 PM, our home in Johnstown, PA caught fire and was completely destroyed. My mom, a beloved special education teacher with nearly 30 years in the local school district, was asleep on the couch when she was abruptly awoken and escaped with only her phone and the clothes on her back. While we’re incredibly grateful she made it out safely, everything she and I owned — including furniture, clothing, and cherished personal items — was either destroyed by the flames or ruined by water damage. We’re raising funds to help her recover and rebuild from nothing, covering emergency housing, daily essentials, and insurance gaps. If you can donate or share, it would mean the world to us.

Thank you.
