Today two of my closest friends lost their entire home in a devastating house fire. In just moments, everything they had built together—the memories, the comforts, the irreplaceable keepsakes—was reduced to ashes.

Thankfully, they weren’t home, and their beloved dogs were able to make it out safe (but they are having to stay at the emergency vet for monitoring). The road ahead is long and full of unknowns. Right now, they are facing the unimaginable: starting over from scratch with only the clothes on their backs.

If you know Brooke and Nic, you know how generous, kind-hearted, and strong they are. They are the kind of people who would give everything they have to help someone else—and now, they need our help.

We’re raising funds to help them with immediate needs like clothing, toiletries, temporary housing, meals, vet bills and eventually the long, difficult process of rebuilding a home. Any amount you can give—no matter how small—will make a huge difference. If you can’t give right now, please consider sharing this page.

Let’s surround them with the same love and support they’ve always given so freely to others.
