Help Emily and Uriah Rebuild After Tragic Fire

Donation protected
Hello. As many are aware, Emily and Uriah suffered the unimaginable house fire. Their home and all belongings are a total loss. To add to this unimaginable heartbreak, their sweet dog Laguna and three cats also perished. Emily is an active member of our community and just took a new position at her school as support staff for Kindergarten. She also helps run several of our community Facebook pages.
She is a single mother to an, almost 14 year old boy, Uriah They should never have to endure this kind of pain or loss. We all know how long insurance can take before providing any relief. Any donation is greatly appreciated. School starts just around the corner, Uriah’s 14th birthday is on Tuesday and coming up with a deposit, first months rent, all furnishings, etc was not in their plans. Let's come together and help ease their minds a bit.

***A note from Emily… Uriah and I are okay, physically. We had a house fire and lost everything, including Laguna and our 3 kitties. I desperately tried to save them but the smoke was overwhelming and the flames were just too intense. We are absolutely devastated.
For those who are asking how they can help, prayers are the most appreciated. If you have reached out to me, I promise I will respond. I am just trying to hold myself together right now. Honestly, I’m overwhelmed with everything right now and, quite literally, taking things moment by moment. Please feel free to share this wherever you would like. Uriah and I really need the support.
Thank you to everyone who have stepped up to help me out already and especially to all of the first responders. You are all appreciated more than what my words can describe.
