Help Kim & Ken Rebuild After Devastating House Fire

On August 5th, 2025, my parents, Kim and Ken Riforgiato, lost everything in a devastating house fire. In a matter of minutes, their home—and every belonging they had built and cherished over the years—was reduced to ashes.

My dad is currently in the hospital recovering from second-degree burns and smoke inhalation. He’s in stable condition, but his road to recovery will be long. My mom made it out safely and is staying with me for now, but they are both displaced and heartbroken.

They’ve lost not just material items, but the place they called home, their sense of stability, and the comfort of familiar things. Nobody can prepare for such a tragedy, and right now, they are facing the overwhelming cost of:

●Removing what remains of their destroyed home

●Finding a safe place to live

●Replacing essential belongings and furniture

●Covering medical expenses for my father’s care


So many of you have already reached out with donations of clothing, shoes, and messages of hope—and we can’t thank you enough. Your kindness is what’s keeping our family strong through this unimaginable time.

If you’re able to give financially, every single dollar will go toward helping my parents rebuild their lives from the ground up. Even the smallest donation means the world to us. And if you’re unable to give right now, your prayers, good thoughts, and shares of this fundraiser are equally appreciated.

For those preferring to give via Cash App, donations can also be sent to $KimRif (my mom’s Cash App).

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for lifting us up. We truly couldn’t do this without you.
