On July 11, 2025, tragedy struck when a fire tore through the home of our beloved Basil Wees, a 78-year-old grandfather, father, neighbor, and friend. In just a matter of minutes, everything he owned was reduced to ashes — a lifetime of memories, keepsakes, and security gone in an instant.

Thankfully, Basil Wees made it out safely, but he lost everything: his home, furniture, clothes, and irreplaceable family heirlooms. At his age, starting over is daunting and incredibly difficult, especially on a fixed income.

We are reaching out to our community, friends, and kind-hearted strangers to ask for your help. Every dollar raised will go toward helping Basil's secure temporary housing, basic necessities, and begin the long road to rebuilding his home and his life.

Please consider donating whatever you can. No amount is too small. And if you’re unable to give at this time, sharing this page with others can make a huge difference.

Thank you for your support, prayers, and kindness during this incredibly difficult time.

With gratitude,

Sonia Green, his daughter
