My name is Carmine, and I’m a full-time student at the University of Wisconsin La Crosse. Today, my apartment burned down, and I lost a majority of my belongings. It’s been a devastating experience, and I’m still trying to process how quickly life can change. I’m reaching out because I need help to get back on my feet and continue my studies without the weight of this loss holding me back.

The funds raised will help me find temporary housing and replace the essentials I lost—things like bathroom and kitchen supplies, a mattress, clothes, and the electronics I rely on for both personal use and my schoolwork. As a student, balancing the cost of tuition is already a challenge, and now I’m faced with rebuilding my life from scratch. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference in helping me recover and focus on my education.

I’m incredibly grateful for any support you can offer, whether it’s a donation or simply sharing my story with others. Your kindness will help me through this difficult time and ensure that I can keep moving forward. Thank you so much for considering a contribution to my recovery.
