Help Lisa & Josue Melendez after whole house fire

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Hanna Smigala, and together with my sisters Tina, Minna, Elina and Eeva, we are humbly asking for your help for our dearest sister Lisa Melendez.

On the morning of Sunday February 20, 2022, Lisa, her husband Josue, and their 5 children (Matthew (age 22), Samuel (age 15), Jocelyn (age 13), Ryan (age 9), and Isabel (age 2 months), lost their entire home and belongings in a house fire.

The fire and smoke damage took completely everything. They were all able to safely get out of the house with no injuries, and were able to also save their family dog Preston. Sadly, since the fire expanded so quickly with extreme, intense heat, they were unable to rescue their cat Shadow or their guinea pigs Bean and Penni.

Please consider donating any amount to help Lisa and her beautiful family rebuild their home.
