Hi, my name is Barbara Jones. I was in the middle of moving into my new house when the unthinkable happened—the U-Haul with everything I own was set on fire. In minutes, the truck packed with all my furniture, clothes, family photos, and keepsakes went up in flames. I’m safe and for that I’m grateful, but I’m starting over with nothing.

The funds will help me replace essential items like furniture, clothing, dishes, blankets, all household items such as a vacuum, cleaners, towels, maps, brooms, washer, and dryer, as well as lawn care equipment. I cannot replace all of my personal items but really need help with the essentials. Any donation will go directly towards replacing these basics and helping me rebuild after this devastating loss.

If you can’t donate, sharing this page means the world. Thank you to the strangers, neighbors, and first responders who helped me that day. Your kindness turned the worst moment into proof that people still show up for each other. With gratitude, Barbara.
