There are no words to explain how thankful they are for your kindness and generosity. Those of you who donated you gave them hope.. You don't realize how many items in a day you use until they are gone. It's not just the big things they need replaced its all the little ones that help you through your day..
Imagine starting your day needing to use bathroom but there's no toilet paper, wash your face but no rag or soap, want to brush teeth but no brush or paste, need to change clothes but they are gone too. Head down stairs need coffee to get your blood pumping then realize shit there's no pot, oh wait no coffee, cups, sugar or milk. The kids get up they want breakfast but there's no cereal, bowls, silverware, or milk and shit don't even have money to buy these things.. That's just to start your day. Imagine the entire day... The list goes on.
URGENT: House Fire — Please Help My Neighbors Rebuild Hey friends, I’m asking for help on behalf of my amazing neighbors and close friends, Brandi Everson & Jesse Lauderbaugh and their two young kids (9 & 7). After 9 years of living next door to me, they finally moved into a new house just yesterday — a place with a yard, deck, and front porch, something they’d dreamed about for years, but before they even had the chance to stay one night… a fire broke out at the new home in the early morning and destroyed EVERYTHING. All of their belongings — still in boxes — are gone. What didn’t burn was damaged by smoke or water. It’s a total loss.
They’ve lost: All clothing, shoes, furniture, and household items, beds, linens, hygiene, food, toys, pet supplies. Brandi’s craft table and supplies (her side hustle), kitchenware, appliances. The kids’ toys, books, and personal treasures. And tragically — everything they handmade for their October 2025 wedding: centerpieces, bouquet, veil, shoes, guest book, ring bearer pillow, favors, invitations, and more
I’ve started a GoFundMe to help them rebuild and get back on their feet. They need help with everything — everyday essentials, kids’ needs, pet care, furniture, clothing, and wedding supplies.
They may be my neighbors, but they’re FAMILY. Let’s come together to lift them up in this devastating time.
Please donate or share — every little bit helps: [Insert GoFundMe link here]
Thank you so much. ❤️
