Help Arnesia's Parents Rebuild After Fire
Donation protected
Hi My name is Arnesia and I’m raising funds for my parents. Bertie Stephens has been a beloved daycare provider for over three decades and member of the Portland community her entire life. Christopher Stephens has been a Pastor and minister in the Portland area for many years. Together, they have helped and touched many lives, currently raising three grandchildren. After 44 years of marriage, Mr. Stephens' health has rapidly declined in recent months, culminating in a terminal illness diagnosis. This has forced Mrs. Stephens to step away from her daycare business and be the sole care provider for her husband. Devastatingly, their home caught fire on Tuesday, November 26, 2024, during his hospitalization, resulting in significant losses and making the home unlivable once he is released from medical care. A GoFundMe page has been created to support the family in rebuilding their lives. Any amount will help, and any additional resources are also welcome.
