Help David and Tyler Rebuild After Tragic Fire

Donation protected
Please help !

David and Tyler were in the middle of a move across the country from California to North Carolina, about to start a new chapter and build a better life for their growing family.

David had just accepted a new job, and he planned to stay with friends temporarily while searching for a new home.

During that same time, Tyler—then nine months pregnant—had been carefully packing up their life, preparing for both the move and the arrival of their second baby. David was towing a trailer with everything they owned: furniture, expensive work tools, baby gear from their first son Colton, and countless sentimental belongings.

Then, she and little Colton had to drop everything in California to fly to Washington to be with her mother, who had just been placed on hospice care.

Then—tragedy struck.

While driving down the highway, the trailer caught fire. By the time firefighters arrived, it was too late. The trailer—and everything inside—was completely destroyed.

Among the things they lost:
  • Baby gear, crib, toys, and clothing saved from Colton for the new baby
• Priceless family heirlooms
• Irreplaceable items from Tyler’s best friend Becca, who passed away
• Precious belongings from Tyler’s mother and grandmother
• Expensive tools David relies on for work
• Personal artwork and art supplies
• A new custom-built racing simulator
• TVs, mattresses, furniture, and clothing
• A nursing chair for the new baby

They did not have insurance to cover the trailer or its contents. David stood helpless on the side of the highway, watching their life go up in flames. Even items untouched by the fire were too smoke-damaged to save.

Since then, Tyler has given birth to their beautiful new baby—bringing love and hope in the midst of this situation. The family is still faced with the enormous challenge of rebuilding from nothing, while grieving the loss of both her mother and their belongings .

We’re asking for help to get them through this unimaginable loss. Every dollar will go toward replacing essentials like:
• Baby supplies, baby clothes , etc
• Clothing
• Furniture and appliances
  • Kitchen/cooking essentials
• Tools for work
• The basic comforts of home

Even sharing this link helps more than you know. Thank you for showing love and support to David, Tyler, and their family during this difficult time.

If you’d like to send a gift from the baby registry instead of a monetary donation, please contact Tyler directly to arrange shipping or drop-off, as they do not yet have a permanent address yet . However, donations are especially appreciated while they work to rebuild their home and stability
