Early this morning, my cousin Julie Schermerhorn and her two boys experienced a devastating house fire that took everything from them—their home, all of their belongings, and even their beloved pets. In just a few hours, their lives were turned upside down, and they are now facing the unimaginable challenge of starting over with nothing. The loss is overwhelming, and the road ahead will not be easy, but together we can help them begin to rebuild.

The funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward helping Julie Schermerhorn and her boys replace the essentials they lost and start to find a little bit of normal again. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference as they work to get back on their feet and recover from this tragedy. Your support will help them regain stability and hope during this incredibly difficult time.

Julie Schermerhorn is one of the most independent and hardest working people I know. She never asks for anything from anyone and would give her shirt off her back even when she didn't have anything herself. Now, it's our turn to rally around her and her family. Please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser to help Julie Schermerhorn and her boys rebuild their lives. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to them right now.
