Help for the Barton Family After Tragic House Fire

Hello my name is Anita McKeehan and I am raising funds for The Barton family, whose house burned down in Elk River, MN on Memorial Day 2025. The Bartons are active members of our community. They are a softball and football family, and there are five kids without a home currently. On Memorial Day 2025, the Barton family's world was turned upside down when a devastating fire engulfed their home in Elk River, Minnesota. What started as a small flame under their deck quickly spread out of control, destroying much of their house and leaving behind heartbreak and loss. Thankfully, the family escaped with their lives—but their home and everything in it did not.

This tragedy struck without warning. In just moments, the Bartons lost not only their place of shelter but also cherished memories, necessities, and a sense of safety. As they face the overwhelming task of starting over, they need our help.

Now is the time for our community—and for compassionate strangers moved by their story—to rally together. Your donation, no matter the size, can make a huge difference. It can help the Bartons secure temporary housing, replace essentials, and begin to rebuild their lives from the ashes.

Please give what you can, share this page with others, and stand in solidarity with the Barton family during this incredibly difficult time. Together, we can lift them up and help them move forward.
