My cousin recently lost everything in the devastating Aspen Acres wildfire where her home was in Beulah, Colorado. I am creating this fundraiser to help her begin the long journey of rebuilding her life. Beulah has always meant so much to her family. The name “Beulah” is often said to mean “as close to heaven as you can get on earth,” and that description couldn’t be more fitting. It has always been a place of peace, beauty, and community. My cousin is a third-generation resident, and it wasn’t just where she lived—it was home. The wildfire took everything she had built there. In a matter of hours, she lost her home and all of her belongings. Thankfully, one thing the fire couldn’t take was her five-year-old dog, Ember. Ember made it out safely and has been adjusting to this sudden change as best she can.


While nothing can replace the home and memories that were lost, your generosity can help her begin again. Every donation, no matter the amount, will go toward replacing essential belongings, securing housing, caring for Ember, and helping her rebuild her life after this unimaginable loss. Every share, prayer, and kind word means more than you know. Thank you for supporting my cousin during this incredibly difficult time. Our family is deeply grateful for the compassion, generosity, and love our community has shown. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone who’s been affected by this fire.
