Recently, our friend Ethan experienced a devastating house fire that completely turned his world upside down. In a matter of moments, he lost the majority of his personal belongings—items accumulated over a lifetime, many of which simply can’t be replaced. And to make matters worse, the insurance company is being very difficult at this time.

Because of the damage, Ethan and his family are unable to return home and are facing displacement for an undetermined amount of time. He is now navigating the emotional toll of this trauma while also trying to manage the very real practical challenges of housing, replacing essential items, and rebuilding some sense of stability.

Ethan is someone who shows up for others with compassion, humility, and dedication. As an intern in the helping profession, he pours himself into supporting clients and learning how to care for others—now it’s our turn to care for him. Any contribution, no matter the size, will help ease the financial burden and give Ethan one less thing to worry about during an already incredibly difficult time.

If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser is just as meaningful. Thank you for helping Ethan begin the long road toward rebuilding and for showing him that he is not alone in this.
