I am not someone that easily asks for help, but devastation has hit my family. On Thursday night (12/18/25), my father’s condo caught fire due to a neighbor adjoining a single wall. He ran outside to inform the neighbors, only to run back in to find his ceiling had already collapsed. He tried to prevent the fire from spreading but quickly realized it was a failing battle. He rushed back outside to safety as 13 firetrucks made their way in to fight the fire taking all in its path.

I am so thankful he is alive and unscathed, but my heart is broken for everything he has lost. He is an amazing father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and son who only gives to others.

As the investigation continues, he has been told it will take approximately 1 year to rebuild the structure until he can redesign his home and replenish his belongings.

Nothing will ever replace the history that he once had within those walls, but I know we can help him rebuild his future.

Please join me in giving my dad a fresh start to his newly retired life.

With sincere gratitude,

Tara
