Help Jason Melchi After Losing Everything To Fire

Donation protected
Today, January 26, 2022, my cousin, Jason Melchi, lost everything in a house fire, including his dog and best companion, Kojak. Jay and Kojak were absolutely inseparable, to say the least. Jason went home at lunch, ate and played with Kojak, and then returned to work. A short time later, he received a call that his house was on fire. Rushing to the scene, the only thing on his mind was getting Kojak out safely. Sadly, Kojak parished where Jay wept over him outside. I can't imagine grieving the loss of Kojak while also losing his home and everything in it. Jay has to start over completely. He was unable to salvage anything. He's lost a lifetime's worth of possessions, including his furniture, clothing, tools, and his home. The days and weeks ahead will be very long for Jason. I'd appreciate anyone's help relieving the burden of restarting.
