A few nights ago, during extreme cold temperatures, John’s life changed in a matter of minutes.

His well pump had frozen, and he was using a heater to try to thaw the lines in his well pit. He stepped outside briefly — and when he turned around, the side of his trailer was already on fire.

By the time emergency crews arrived, much of his home was gone.

John is disabled and had no insurance. He lost everything.

His home.

His clothes.

His personal belongings.

Even the coat he’s wearing right now had to be borrowed — and it doesn’t even fit.

Most heartbreaking of all, he lost his beloved pets in the fire. He tried to go back in for them, but the smoke was too thick.

Right now, John is starting from zero.

Our goal is to help him:

• Clear and prepare the lot for a replacement trailer

• Replace essential clothing and daily necessities

• Help with temporary housing and living expenses

• Put him in a position to secure a safe, new (to him) home

Every dollar raised will go directly toward helping John rebuild his life and regain stability.

If you’re unable to give, sharing this page means just as much.

Let’s show him he’s not alone.
