This fundraiser is for my close friend Jahlen, her husband, and their three children after a fire destroyed their home in the early morning hours of Wednesday, November 4, 2026. All five made it out safely, but they escaped with only the clothes on their backs and no shoes. They lost their home, their belongings, and, heartbreakingly, one of their beloved rescued cats.

Anyone who knows Jahlen knows how deeply she cares for others, which makes this loss even harder for the people who love her.

Right now, Jahlen and her family need clothing, shoes, toiletries, food, and supplies for their remaining pets. Donations will help cover those immediate needs and the costs of finding a new home and replacing what they lost.

We are asking for help so Jahlen and her husband have a little less to worry about while caring for their children and figuring out what comes next.

Please give whatever you comfortably can. Every donation helps, and if you’re unable to give, please share this fundraiser.

Thank you for supporting Jahlen, her husband, and their children as they start over.
