Help Kathy (my mom) Rebuild After House Fire & Loss of Beloved Pet

Hi, my name is Matthew, and I’m starting this fundraiser for my mother, Kathy, whose home was tragically destroyed in a house fire. That had no home owner's insurance.

This wasn’t just any house — it was the home I grew up in, the one my mom bought on her own as a single mother. She worked hard her whole life to provide for our family, and she poured everything into that house.

The fire took everything: her belongings, her stability, and heartbreakingly, our beloved English Bulldog, Bilio, who was more than a pet — he was family.

At the time of the fire, my mom, my nephew, my uncle, and my brother all lived there. Now, they’ve been left with nothing but the clothes on their backs. They're trying to stay strong, but the loss is overwhelming.

We’re asking for any support you can give — whether it’s $5, $50, or simply sharing this with others. All funds will go directly to Kathy and our family to help with:

Temporary shelter and clothing

Basic necessities (food, toiletries, medications)

Rebuilding efforts and recovery


Anything helps. Thank you for your love, support, and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

With love,
Matthew & Family
