Tonight, January 13th, my brother Fred and sister in law Kelly Stamp lost everything they own in a devastating house fire that claimed the lives of their 4 beloved pets. Thankfully, they, and their 3 kids and grandson are all safe.

Fred and Kelly are the type of people who would give the shirts off their backs to anyone that needed it and they would never ask for anything in return. Kelly is the soul income earner for the family as Fred suffers from a debilitating back injury caused by a work accident many years ago and now they need our help.

The next few weeks are going to be the hardest trying to secure an affordable place to live, while also trying to replace everything from clothes, toiletries, furniture, baby items and everyday essentials. The hardest part for this family is loosing all their pets. Their dog Lucy was more then a companion, she was also Fred's service dog and he is beyond heartbroken to loose he's best friend. Their kids are devastated and in disbelief with the loss of their dog and 2 cats. All the animals have now been brought to the pet moratorium for cremation and as you can imagine, this will be very costly for the family as well.

I am asking for any help you are able to give to get this family back on their feet. If you prefer to donate clothes or household items please reach out to me and I will come pick it up.

A big thank you to the St. John's Fire Department and to the Red Cross for acting so quickly and compasionatly to help my brother and he's family during this difficult time.

Thank you in advance to everyone who takes the time to read, donate, and share this post. Any little bit will help right now.
