Today, our best friend Julianna and her family experienced a tragedy no family should ever endure. An unexpected electrical fire consumed their home, leaving nothing salvageable. Julianna, her fiancé Angel, and their children escaped with only the clothes on their backs. This unimaginable loss comes right after Thanksgiving, a time meant for warmth and rest, not devastation.

Julianna is a devoted mother, a full-time college student studying ASL, and a small business owner who pours her passion, creativity, and kindness into serving others. She is the kind of person who gives without hesitation, shows up for anyone in need, and brings light wherever she goes. Angel, her fiancé, is an Assistant Principal and a devoted father who dedicates his life to guiding and supporting students every single day. Together, they have built a home full of love, hard work, and resilience—a home they now must rebuild from the ground up.

They now face the overwhelming task of replacing their children’s belongings, securing temporary housing, and rebuilding stability in a time of complete uncertainty. We are raising funds to help cover emergency housing, clothing, basic necessities for the kids, and the long road ahead as they rebuild from the ground up. Any support you can offer is deeply appreciated. Even sharing this fundraiser helps more than you know. Thank you for holding this family in your hearts.

UPDATE 11/30:

We are truly overwhelmed by the love, support, and generosity our community has shown. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who has donated, shared the link, or reached out with kind words. Your support means more than we can ever express, and it’s already helping this family take their first steps toward rebuilding.

Today, we were able to visit the house and carefully salvage as many personal items as possible. Walking through the space was incredibly emotional, but we wanted to share this moment with all of you. We’re posting an update video of the inside of the home so you can understand the extent of the damage and see why your support matters so deeply.

Thank you again for lifting them up during such an unimaginable time. Your kindness is making a real difference, and we are so grateful for each and every one of you.

UPDATE 12/4:
