The Story

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.

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.

The Financial Impact

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.

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.

As close friends, we are stepping in because no young family should have to carry a loss of this scale alone.

Cover Demolition & Site Cleanup Costs: Clearing the ruined structure so they are not left with compounding debt.
