<div><strong>The Story</strong>
</div>
<div>For the past two years, Isabella and Bastien have poured their hearts, sweat, and savings into restoring a house on Franklin Road in Orange. Working hard full-time while raising their active 3-year-old son, every spare moment and dollar went into building a secure future for their young family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They were just three weeks away from finally listing the house on the market—the culmination of two years of relentless hard work—when tragedy struck. A devastating fire broke out, completely destroying the home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Financial Impact</strong>
</div>
<div>Because the property was uninsured at the time of the fire, Isabella and Bastien have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in equity and hard-earned savings in a single night.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To make matters worse, they now face an immediate and heavy financial burden: a demolition and site cleanup bill expected to run into tens of thousands of dollars just to clear the hazard.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As close friends, we are stepping in because no young family should have to carry a loss of this scale alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How Your Support Helps</strong>

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Provide a Buffer for a Fresh Start: Helping them cover immediate living expenses and regain stability for their 3-year-old son.
</div>
<div><br />
