Please help! Our friends Lis and Alan need help Rebuilding the Home That Meant Everything to them

Hi, my name is Nicole, and I’m creating this fundraiser on behalf of my dearest friends, Lis and Alan and Lis’s parents — two incredibly selfless, hard-working people who have just suffered the most devastating loss of their lives. 

On June 5th, 2025, a sudden and unexplainable fire tore through Alan, Lis and Lis parents farm in Clewiston, 
Florida, destroying everything in its path. In just minutes, their entire world — the home they built, shared, and dreamed in — was reduced to ash.

But this wasn’t just any home.

This was the home where Alan, Lis and Lis parents lived -It was a place filled with generational memories, sacrifices, and love — a place Alan, Lis and Lis’s parents poured their entire hearts, savings, and future into.

Their parents had spent years saving every penny, working endlessly to make this dream farm a reality — to create a peaceful, purpose-driven life surrounded by animals, family, and the land they cherished. They gave up everything to make this happen. They invested every last dollar they had.

And now, it’s all gone.

The house is gone. The furniture is gone. Their clothing, tools, farm equipment, family keepsakes — all gone.
And yet, through some miracle, every single one of their beloved animals survived. But their food, supplies, and shelter were destroyed.

This wasn’t just a house fire.
It was the destruction of their safe place.
The home that held their past, present, and future.

And now, Lis, Alan, and Lis’s parents are left with nothing — no home, no essentials, and no clear path forward. But what they do have is hope. And a community that can help carry them through this.

We’re asking for $30,000 to help them:
• Secure safe temporary housing for the entire family
• Replace clothing, food, furniture, tools, and daily essentials
• Rebuild shelter and restock food and supplies for their animals
• Cover living expenses while they begin to heal and rebuild

If you know Alan, Lis and Lis parents you know how deeply giving and humble they are. They’ve never asked for anything — they give with open arms and hearts, and never expect anything in return.

But right now, they desperately need help.

Please consider donating, and if you’re unable to give, sharing this fundraiser means everything. Together, we can help them rise from the ashes and begin again.

With love and gratitude,
Nicole
