Ericka Miner is a valued coworker at the United Planning Organization, where she works in IT support, helping staff, programs, and volunteers stay connected and able to serve the community effectively. She is often the person behind the scenes solving technical issues, supporting day-to-day operations, and ensuring that others can do their work without interruption. Beyond her technical role, Ericka is known for her willingness to help anyone who needs support. She consistently shows kindness, patience, and dedication—whether assisting coworkers, supporting programs, or helping volunteers working in the community. Her contributions have had a meaningful impact not only on our organization, but on the people we collectively serve. Now, it’s our turn to support her during an incredibly difficult time.
On Friday, April 17th, 2026, Ericka experienced a heartbreaking loss when a sudden house fire destroyed her home. In just moments, she lost her living space and many of her personal belongings, including clothing, essentials, and important items she relied on daily. Thankfully, Ericka is safe, but she is now facing the overwhelming reality of starting over from scratch. The road ahead will be challenging, but with the support of coworkers and the community, we can help her begin to rebuild.
Monetary donations will be the most helpful for Ericka right now. Financial support will allow her to immediately cover urgent needs such as temporary housing, food, transportation, and daily essentials. It will also help her replace important personal belongings at her own pace, while bridging the gap as she navigates insurance and other recovery assistance programs, which can take time and may not cover everything fully. Your support will provide her with stability and practical help during this difficult transition.
To everyone considering donating or sharing this fundraiser—thank you. Your kindness means more than words can fully express. Ericka has spent her time helping others behind the scenes and supporting those who serve the community, and now your generosity is helping her feel supported as she begins to rebuild her life.
