Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Strangers,

The call you never hope to get as a parent... but today, everything changed for my son and his girlfriend. For those of you that do not know, Elijah and Hailey had found and moved into the most perfect apartment for them- in a safe, quiet neighborhood with the sweetest landlords. A young couple just starting out and making their way - but everything changed in an instant. Their dream and everything they had worked so hard for was unexpectedly and tragically lost in a house fire. But more importantly, one thing that has not changed is that that they have each other and the love/support around them. Elijah was seen at the hospital due to the amount of smoke inhalation, but has been discharged. We need YOUR help- please help ease the financial stress of starting over - money to find a new apartment, daily living, and items to fill a new place to call home. Please share!

A BIG thank you to Leeds Fire Department with the mutual aid partners from Greene, Monmouth, Sabattus, Wales, and Turner. Your hard work and dedication does not go unnoticed. We are grateful for all that you do - especially today.
