Fire Took Everything: Let's Help Him Heal

My neighbor, Tyler Rakestraw, who has lived here in Lima NY for 15+ years had a devastating house fire.. (Friday 3/21/25).

He lost everything.The grief of such a tremendous loss and the struggle to get back to somewhat normal is so very hard.

I'm hoping there are people that will help him get through this very difficult time.

He's such a unique person. Friendly and full of love. He's an artist and a musician. The fire wiped out his beautiful creations, all his musical instruments,his supplies to create more unique artwork, which the world should see when he recovers from this tragedy. Not.only did he lose his passions, he lost sentimental items that can never be replaced.

While we had a team of volunteers to help remove the fore debris, he is still in a great deal of need such as every day supplies, food for himself and his cat and most importantly is a replacement mobile home

If there's more information needed please feel free to reach out.

Anything helps, he lost everything and it's heartbreaking.

God bless.
