Fire Took Our Home, Love Keeps Us Strong

Donation protected
Hi everyone, my name is Landen, and I’d like to introduce you to my family.

Before anything else, yes—our home recently caught fire. It’s been a tough experience, but instead of focusing on the sadness, I want to share who we are and what makes our little family so special.

I’m Landen, I’m 20 years old, and music has always been a big part of my life. I’m chasing a dream of becoming a singer, and I believe in staying adventurous and passionate, even through hard times.

Meet my brother Melkia—our tech wizard. If anything breaks or glitches, he’s the one we all run to. He’s curious about everything, loves learning, and has a huge passion for history.

Then there’s Isa, my younger sister. She has a heart of gold and a deep love for animals. Her dream is to become a veterinarian, and with her gentle nature and creative spirit, I know she’ll get there. She’s always drawing, painting, or finding new ways to express herself.

Millie is our youngest firecracker. She’s full of endless energy, always ready for a new adventure, and has the sweetest habit of writing notes to remind people how much she loves them. She’s all about family and fun.

A special shoutout to Lestat, the oldest of us kids. While he's no longer living with the family and is out there making his own story, he grew up paving the road for us—and his support still means the world.

And finally, Liana and Cadge—our incredible parents. Their love story started miles apart, but they made it work and built a life together. Their strength, love, and support are the glue that holds us all together.

We’ve lost a lot in the fire, but we haven’t lost each other—and that means everything. If you’re able to help, we’d be beyond grateful. Your support will help us rebuild, heal, and continue chasing our dreams, together.

Thank you for reading our story,
—Landen & family
