Fire Took Their Home - Help Us Bring Them Hope

My name is Rian (Roberts) Thomas, and on Monday, April 21, 2025, at 3:30 a.m., my mother, Blanche McGill, my aunt, Shirley Brown, and my brother, James Roberts III, tragically lost their home. Their lives were turned upside down when a devastating electrical fire broke out next door at an illegal boarding house and spread to their home. Despite the firefighters' best efforts, the intense heat and hotspots completely destroyed everything they had. In just a few hours, they lost not only their home but also the memories, belongings, and sense of security they had built over a lifetime.

They are now displaced and facing the overwhelming challenge of starting from scratch. My family and I want to help them rebuild and regain some stability. Any amount you can give, no matter how small, would be a blessing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support, prayers, and kindness.
