Help Justine (Ricci) Lyford Rebuild After a Devastating Fire

Donation protected
On Sunday, March 2nd, my sister, Justine, lost everything when a fire tragically destroyed her home. Thankfully, she and the other tenants made it out safely, but her apartment—and everything in it—is gone.

The last few years have been incredibly difficult for Justine. After suffering multiple strokes, she spent a year in a nursing home before finally regaining her independence and returning to her apartment. She had just started rebuilding her life when this devastating fire took everything from her again.

Due to her disabilities, Justine is unable to work and relies on government assistance, which covers her basic needs but does not provide the funds necessary to secure a new home or replace essential belongings like clothing and furniture. Unfortunately, she did not have renters' insurance.

Despite everything she has endured, Justine has shown incredible strength and resilience. She was making real progress, and this fire has set her back in a way that feels deeply unfair. I am humbly asking our community to come together and help Justine get back on her feet.

How You Can Help:
Your donation will go directly toward:

  • Securing a new apartment
  • Replacing clothing, furniture, and daily necessities
  • Helping Justine rebuild after this devastating loss

Any amount, no matter how small, will make a difference in helping her start over. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser to help spread the word.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your kindness and support.
