On June 22, our dear friend, Kristan Neufeld, experienced an unimaginable tragedy. A house fire in El Reno, Oklahoma, claimed the life of her beloved mother, Christine Yoder. In a matter of moments, their world was turned upside down.

As Kristan navigates this heartbreaking loss, she is also facing the overwhelming financial burden that comes with an unexpected death, fire-related expenses, and legal expenses. Unfortunately, there was no life insurance or financial plan in place to help cover these costs.

Kristan is now responsible for making all funeral and burial arrangements while grieving the loss of her mother. In addition to funeral expenses, there will be costs associated with cleanup services, post-fire needs, and other unforeseen expenses that arise in the aftermath of this tragedy.

We are asking for support from friends, family, and the community to help ease some of the financial stress during this incredibly difficult time. Any donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward:

Burial expenses

Funeral and memorial services

Fire cleanup and restoration-related costs

Post-fire expenses and necessary arrangements

Legal expenses

Other unexpected costs associated with this tragic loss

If you are unable to donate, that is absolutely ok! Times have been trying for everyone. Even just sharing this fundraiser and keeping Kristan and her family in your thoughts and prayers would mean the world to us at this time.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support during this heartbreaking time. Every contribution helps lift a portion of the burden and allows the family to focus on honoring Christine’s life and memory.

With gratitude,

Jessica Corn
