On Wednesday, December 10, 2025, there was a catastrophic accident at the Santa Barbara Apartments, causing a fire that killed a beloved friend of many people.

Jade (Marie Connell) died in that fire.

This was a freak accident, and nobody was prepared for this to happen.

Her sons are now in desperate need of assistance to help their amazing mother be laid to her eternal rest.

Please help in any way that you can; every dollar helps a family to heal from this terrible event. Thank you.
