Kurt Helgesen is my friend, and last night his life changed forever. His house was destroyed in a fire, and he lost everything he owned in a matter of moments. The devastation is overwhelming, and right now, Kurt is left without a place to call home. To make matters even more difficult, his three beloved dogs barely made it out alive, and they are all in need of safety and comfort as they recover from this traumatic event.

Kurt is facing the unimaginable challenge of starting over from scratch. The funds raised here will go directly toward helping him secure essentials like clothing, food, and temporary shelter, as well as beginning the long process of rebuilding his life. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference for Kurt and his dogs as they try to find stability and hope again.

If you’re able to help, please consider supporting Kurt during this incredibly difficult time. Your kindness and generosity will mean the world to him and his furry companions. Thank you for being part of a community that cares.
