The wildfire that tore through Vya, Nevada devastated the Smith Family Ranch in minutes, leaving Aunt Cleo, Uncle Lavor, and Lynn with nothing but the few personal items they could grab as they ran for their lives. One moment their homes stood strong; the next, flames were swallowing decades of memories, history, and everything they built. When the fire passed, their homes were gone. Completely destroyed. Today, they’re left with very few clothes, no basic amenities, and no sense of normalcy. They are starting from absolute zero.

The Belding family is organizing this fundraiser because Cleo and Lavor have always been the heart of their community — the kind of people who show up for everyone else, no matter what. Now, after losing everything, they need their community to show up for them. This wildfire didn’t just take structures; it took stability, security, and the foundation of their lives. Rebuilding will take time, strength, and support, and every donation helps them take one step closer to standing on solid ground again.

All donations go directly to Cleo and Lavor. Every dollar helps them replace essentials, secure temporary housing, and begin the long process of rebuilding their lives. If you can give, share, or simply spread the word, you’re helping this family rise from the ashes of the hardest chapter they’ve ever faced. Your support means more than you know.
