In the early hours of Sunday, November 16th, at 3 a.m., Kyle and his 9-year-old son Gavin, were pounding on Kyle’s parents’ front door—panicked, barefoot, and shaken.

“The house is on fire… we barely got out!” Kyle gasped. He hadn’t even had time to grab his phone.

From their porch, Kyle’s parents could see the terrifying glow—orange, red, and purple flames shooting into the sky. The home was already completely engulfed.

Inside the home, moments earlier, Gavin had been asleep in the kids’ bedroom. He woke up to the smell of smoke and saw that the bed beside him—his sister Kamryn’s bed—was on fire after the burning ceiling material collapsed onto it. Acting on courage far beyond his years, Gavin ran through the smoke to wake his dad.

The room was filling with smoke, but not yet flames. Gavin shook Kyle, a famously heavy sleeper, until he woke. Kyle scooped his son into his arms and ran out the nearest door with only seconds to spare. They escaped with nothing but their lives.

Kamryn, thankfully, was away at a sleepover that night—another blessing, as her bed was where the collapse happened first.

The little white wooden home tucked beneath a giant Magnolia tree was destroyed within minutes. Fire officials confirmed it started in the attic due to faulty wiring.

Kyle and his two children had lived in this home for nine years. Kyle is a single parent —raising his kids, without support or visitation from their mother for six years. This house held their memories, routines, and the simple comforts that made it a home.

And now, everything is gone.

Worse, Kyle had no insurance coverage to help replace even the basics.

He is working full-time and doing everything he can, but his income only covers their day-to-day needs—not the overwhelming cost of starting completely over.

This GoFundMe has been created to help Kyle and his kids rebuild their lives:

Kyle is the kind of man who gives the shirt off his back, the last dollar in his pocket, and would drop everything to help someone in need. He has spent years giving to others. Now, after losing everything in a matter of minutes, he needs some support.

Every prayer. Every message. Every donation—no matter the amount—helps lift a piece of the burden as Kyle, Gavin, and Kamryn begin to rebuild from the ashes.

Thank you for helping them find hope again!
