Help Aaron Rebuild After House Fire & Police Brutality

Donation protected
Hi, my name is T’Asia, and I’m raising money for my dad, Aaron, who recently experienced one of the most devastating and unfair moments of his life.

My dad’s home in Lima, Ohio was completely destroyed in a fire. He lost everything — clothes, shelter, belongings, and decades of memories. Incredibly, he risked his life to save three of his beloved dogs, and firefighters saved the last one just in time. His dogs are his heart, and they’re all safe thanks to courage and quick action.

But instead of receiving help or comfort, my dad was assaulted by police officers (slammed, punched in the face, & tased) at the scene. While disoriented, traumatized, and in need of support, he was met with violence by those who were supposed to protect him.

My father is a man who lives with purpose. He’s hardworking, deeply committed to personal growth, and always pushing himself to do better as well as everyone around him. He’s the type of person who’ll lend a hand even when he’s struggling himself. Now he’s the one in need — of a roof, of stability, of safety, and of justice.

Your donation will go toward:
    •    Emergency housing and essentials (clothes, food, hygiene, etc.)
    •    Veterinary care and supplies for his dogs
    •    Medical care for his injuries
    •    Legal assistance
    •    Rebuilding his life and home

Even $5 helps more than you know. If you can’t donate, please share this page and help spread the word. My dad doesn’t deserve this, but together we can help him through it.

From our hearts — thank you ❤️
