My name is Jason, and I’m raising funds on behalf of my brother-in-law’s family — two parents and their four young children. Early Saturday morning, a devastating fire destroyed their home on Buckingham Avenue in Norfolk.

Miraculously, no one was seriously hurt — but in the blaze, they lost nearly everything. Their house is now uninhabitable, and all their belongings — clothing, furniture, toys, kitchen items — were destroyed or damaged beyond use.

With four small kids depending on them, the next weeks will be rough. They need a safe place to stay, clothes and shoes (especially importantly for the kids), basics for everyday life (beds, kitchenware, bedding), and food while they figure out what’s next. Insurance and rebuilding will take time — and kids don’t wait.

We’re trying to raise whatever we can to help cover:

Temporary housing / short-term rental for the family

Clothes, shoes, and essentials for kids and parents

Household basics (beds, bedding, kitchen items, toiletries)

Food and everyday necessities during displacement

If you can donate — thank you. If you can share, that helps just as much. Even a small gift makes a big difference. Every bit of support gives this family a chance to rebuild and keep their children safe and warm through this traumatic time. Thanks so much.
