Help Ian, Emma, and Bo rebuild after fire

Donation protected
On February 6, 2025, Ian Manthe and Emma Breunig and their furbaby Bo of DeForest, WI, experienced an unimaginable tragedy when a devastating fire destroyed their home, leaving them with nothing. In moments, they lost all their belongings, including cherished memories, clothing, furniture, and everyday essentials. What was once their haven is now completely gone.

While we are beyond grateful that they made it out safely, they are now facing the overwhelming challenge of rebuilding their lives from the ground up. The emotional and financial toll of losing everything is unimaginable, and they urgently need our support.

Emma and Ian are the kind of people who would give the shirts off their backs to help someone in need. Now, they’re the ones who need a helping hand. Starting over from nothing is overwhelming, but with the love and support of family, friends, and the community, we can help lighten their burden.

Any amount you can give will make a difference—whether it helps them find a place to stay, replace essential belongings, or reminds them that they are not alone in this journey. If you cannot donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser to spread the word.

Emma and Ian have faced more than their fair share of hardships in the past few years, and they truly deserve a break. Let’s come together to help them rebuild, one step at a time. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for any support you can give. ❤️
