Lacey Proctor, her husband, their four-year-old son, and their dog recently experienced a house fire that has turned their lives upside down. Thankfully, everyone made it out safely, but the aftermath has left them facing unexpected challenges. Most of their clothes and many personal belongings were damaged by smoke and soot. The family must stay out of their home for at least three months while their belongings are cleaned and purified in an ozone room to remove dangerous fumes and chemicals. During this time, they are staying with Lacey’s mother-in-law, but the disruption has been especially hard on their young son, who can’t have his toys or even his drinking cups due to contamination. Fire prevention experts have explained that smoke and soot are nearly impossible to remove from plastic, meaning many of his favorite things are lost for good.

Lacey and her family are working hard to rebuild, but the costs of replacing clothes, essentials, and items for their son are adding up quickly. They are grateful for a safe place to stay, but the road ahead is long as they wait to return home. Any support will help them replace what was lost and bring comfort to their son during this difficult time. Your kindness will make a real difference as they start to recover and move forward.
