Update:

Due to ongoing negativity and conflict that have begun to overshadow the original purpose of this fundraiser, we have made the difficult decision to bring this donation page to a close.

The generosity shown thus far is a true reflection of the kindness, compassion, and strength within our community. We are deeply grateful to every individual who has contributed and supported this effort.

Once GoFundMe processes the transfer, all funds raised will be provided directly to David. For those who still wish to contribute or have any questions, please direct all donations and inquiries to the School House Market.

I am incredibly proud of the unity our community has demonstrated during such a devastating time. Your support has made a meaningful difference, and it will not be forgotten.

As many in our community are slowly finding out, the Stolzfus family has suffered an unimaginable loss. In a deadly fire that took place in the morning of April 19, 2026, on Long Run Rd in Mill Hall, PA, David lost his wife Sara as well as his six children, ranging in ages from 2 to 12. The tragedy has left him without his family, home, or possessions.

With help from David’s cousin, James Glick, this GoFundMe has been created to support David as he faces the difficult journey ahead. All funds raised will go directly to David to help him rebuild his home and begin again. Their culture is unique, and while many will want to know how to help, this fundraiser is the best way to offer support. If you’d like to donate in another way, please reach out by email at [email redacted] or phone/text at [phone redacted].

David has lost everything. Let’s rally around him as a community to help him try to rebuild his life. Your support, kindness, and generosity will make a difference as David navigates this unimaginable loss.
