On Wednesday, 8/13/25, our world turned upside down. A fire broke out in our home, and within minutes, we lost nearly everything. I was at work at the time of the fire, but the kids all made it out safely, including our dog, Liam. The damage is severe, and nothing inside was salvageable.

I'm Avery, a mom to 6 amazing kids, ages 20, 17, 14, 12, 11, and 7. We are currently displaced, staying in a hotel, and trying to process how to start over from scratch.

We've lost our clothing, furniture, school supplies, important documents, food, and so many sentimental items that can never be replaced. The kids have just started school with new supplies and clothing. My oldest, who is on the spectrum, is starting his first semester in college, and we need to replace all of their essentials quickly while also trying to secure stable housing.

We are asking for your help to cover:

Temporary housing & basic bills

Clothing & shoes for the kids

School supplies and personal items

Food and daily necessities

Replacing furniture and household essentials
