Help Brenda Rebuild After Tragic House Fire

Help Brenda Bartholomew Rebuild After Tragic House Fire

Goal: $10,000 (ALL donations will go directly to Brenda as the Beneficiary of this fundraiser) *Brenda has no homeowner’s insurance.*

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out with a heavy heart on behalf of my neighbor and high school classmate, Brenda Bartholomew. She recently lost everything in a devastating house fire in the early morning of June 26.

In just minutes, Brenda’s home was completely destroyed—along with her car and, most heartbreakingly, her beloved cats. She escaped with her life, but she is now faced with the overwhelming task of starting over from nothing.

Brenda is a hard working and warm-hearted person. Whether you knew her from school or as a neighbor, she’s not one to ask for help, but now, she needs our help to begin rebuilding her life.

What Your Donation Will Support:

• Temporary housing and daily essentials

• Clothing, shoes, and toiletries

• Car replacement or transportation needs

• Replacing household items, documents, and furniture

⸻

Our goal is to raise $10,000 to help Brenda through this incredibly difficult time. Any amount you can give—no matter how small—will make a difference. And if you can’t give financially, please share this fundraiser to help spread the word.

Let’s rally around Brenda with love and support, and remind her that she’s not alone as she begins to rebuild.

Thank you so much,

Melissa Peyton
