Lily Giles, lovingly known as Jody, is my sister and a devoted grandmother who has always put her family first. She has spent her life caring for her loved ones, and her home was a place of warmth, laughter, and memories. Just two months ago, Lily lost her husband to cancer—a loss that left her heartbroken and struggling to find her footing. While she was still grieving, tragedy struck again: a fire swept through her home, leaving nothing behind but ashes. Lily and her granddaughters escaped with only their pajamas, and everything else was lost. They have no shoes, no coats, and no belongings to call their own.

The fire took more than just material possessions. Lily lost the ashes of her twin daughters, Masha and Angie, who passed away within the last six years, as well as her husband’s ashes. These irreplaceable reminders of her loved ones are gone, and the pain is unimaginable. Lily could not afford house insurance, so the loss is total. Her granddaughters, who lived with her, are now without the comfort and security of their home, facing uncertainty and fear.

Despite everything, Lily’s spirit remains strong. She is surrounded by family and friends who are determined to help her rebuild. We are reaching out to our community, asking for support to help Lily and her granddaughters secure housing, clothing, and daily essentials. Every donation, no matter the size, will help them take the first steps toward healing and stability. Your kindness and generosity will show Lily that she is not alone, and that there is hope even in the darkest times. Please join us in supporting Lily and her granddaughters as they begin the journey to rebuild their lives. Together, we can help them find comfort, security, and a new beginning.
