The evening of Sunday, March 14, 2021 Meredith, Josh, and their kids came home to that haunting scene we only imagine. The chaos and lights of emergency vehicles and firefighters working to extinguish a fire—that fire was in their home.

In the moments that ensued they learned neighbors had rescued their pets. The fire was then extinguished. Everyone was safe and the house looked salvageable, but it would be daylight before the true extent of the damage could be seen. The next morning the reality of the situation unfolded. Everything that wasn’t ruined by the fire was damaged smoke and water. The remediation company has said they will be displaced for many months.

Meredith, Josh, their four kids, and dogs Napoleon (a special needs lab mix) and Rizzo (snuggly queen bee Jack Russel mix) are currently living in a hotel. They are trying to find temporary housing, in an extremely competitive and expensive market as, well as replace the necessities of daily life that were ruined.

How can you help?   Donating any amount to this campaign, if you are in the Asheville, NC area and know of affordable, furnished housing, that can be rented on a week-by-week basis please let Meredith  know, if you want to support the family through Meredith’s work you can take one of her online classes .
