From Flames to Hope-Help Firefighter Brian & his dad rebuild
Donation protected
Hi everyone,
We're reaching out to you today with heavy hearts to ask for your support for Brian and his father, two beloved members of our community who recently lost everything in a tragic house fire.
Brian is one of those rare people who gives more than he takes. As a local firefighter, he’s spent countless hours risking his life to protect others and save homes just like the one he and his father have now lost. In addition to serving on the front lines, Brian also works as a mobile mechanic, often helping neighbors when they're in a bind or just need some routine maintenance done.
Brian’s always the first to show up when someone needs a hand — whether it's responding to an emergency call or fixing a car so someone can get to work.
Now, Brian and his father are the ones in need.
Last night, a devastating fire tore through their home. Thankfully, they were not inside the home at the time of the fire, but their house and nearly all of their belongings were destroyed. What wasn’t lost to the flames has been damaged beyond repair. They're now left to rebuild from scratch — emotionally, physically, and financially.
This GoFundMe has been set up to help Brian and his dad cover the immediate costs of temporary housing, basic necessities, clothing, and the long road ahead toward rebuilding their lives.
Let’s come together and support someone who has always been there for others. Every dollar, every share, and every message of support means the world to them right now.
Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and for helping Brian and his dad get back on their feet.
With gratitude ❤️
