Update: Charlene, Lexis and Buddy the cat are temporarily living in our parent’s basement. The cause of the fire and extent of the damage is still unknown. The fire Marshall has not finished their investigation. Your donations are extremely appreciated and please keep them prayers!

Hello, I am creating this GoFundMe for my sister, Charlene Bergstrom, who experienced a devastating house fire last night on December 20, 2025. Currently, Charlene and her daughter are displaced from their home and have no access to essentials like clothing and other supplies. Charlene is a wonderful mother, sister, daughter, and a dedicated home daycare provider. This fire has not only impacted her family but also the families who rely on her daycare business for their children’s care and support.

The funds raised will help Charlene and her daughter secure temporary housing and begin the process of rebuilding their home and her daycare business. The loss is especially hard during the holiday season, and any support you can offer will help ease the immediate stress and uncertainty they are facing. Your kindness will make a real difference as they work to recover and rebuild their lives.

Anything you can donate will be extremely appreciated. This is such a tough time right before Christmas, and I am hoping to take some of the immediate stress off of her. Thank you so much for reading and have a safe, happy holiday season.
