Today, the unimaginable happened to my mom and stepdad, Darlene and David Ordaz. Their home in Safford, Arizona, was engulfed in a fire, and now they've lost everything, including their beloved pets who were part of our family. The image of what they once called their safe haven reduced to ashes is heartbreakingly hard to comprehend.

Darlene and David are the most loving and generous people I know. They’ve always been the first to lend a hand or a listening ear to anyone in need. Now, as they face this overwhelming loss, I find myself searching for ways to support them in any small way I can. They’ll need everything from basic essentials to long-term necessities, and it’s a daunting journey ahead for them.

The funds raised will help Darlene and David pay bills in the coming days, weeks, months, and years, and will help them start to rebuild their lives. Knowing the warmth and kindness of our community, I hope we can bring some comfort to Darlene and David during this difficult time. Thank you in advance for your help. Anything and everything helps, even if it is only a caring hug or a dollar.
