Cindy is a special needs paraprofessional at a local Riverhead charter school, and a devoted mom to Jayson, a bright 13-year-old with a passion for music and gaming. Cindy’s partner, Donald (De), has been by her side for over 15 years, working two jobs to help support their small family. Their lives were turned upside down last night when a devastating house fire destroyed everything they owned, just days before Christmas. The tragedy was compounded by the loss of their beloved pet rabbit, Daisey, who didn’t make it out despite Cindy’s desperate, selfless attempt to save her.

 The family is now facing unimaginable challenges. With no renters insurance, Cindy, Jayson, and De have lost their home, their car, and all of their belongings. They are left with nothing but the clothes on their backs and the love they share. Cindy’s dedication to her students and her family is unwavering, but right now, they need help to rebuild and find stability.

 Funds raised will go directly toward helping Cindy, Jayson, and De secure a new place to live and a car to get back on their feet. Your support is extremely helpful for this young displaced family—we thank you for any support in advance during this holiday season. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference as they work to recover from this heartbreaking loss.
