My name is Eva, and just two nights ago, my family and I lost our home in a devastating fire. It’s me, my husband, my son, my brother (who is wheelchair-bound), and our dear friend. Everything we owned was ruined—clothes, food, and all the essentials we need to get by. Right now, we’re staying at a place we could afford with the help of the Red Cross, but those funds have run out, and tomorrow morning we have nowhere to go. We’re literally at the curb, facing the uncertainty of what comes next.

This experience has been overwhelming and scary for all of us, especially my brother who needs extra care and support. We’re in urgent need of somewhere safe to stay, food, and clothing. Every bit of help will go directly toward making sure my family has the basics to get through this crisis and start rebuilding our lives.

I hate to even ask, but I have to look out for my family. We would truly be indebted to anyone who can help in any way. The uncertainty is frightening, and your support would mean the world to us. Thank you in advance for anything you can do—we will appreciate it with all our hearts.
