My name is Lori, and I'm reaching out because my home was recently damaged in a freak fire that likely started at the road. The experience was terrifying, and I'm still coming to terms with everything that happened. The fire caused significant damage to the siding of my house, leaving me with repairs I never expected to face. Unfortunately, I do not have homeowners insurance because the premium became unaffordable.

My husband has had two strokes, and we are raising my 17-year-old grandson after my son, his father, passed away. We also adopted my grandson’s half-sister from foster care, and I am caring for my 84-year-old mother who recently fell and broke her hip. With so many responsibilities and challenges, the cost of repairs is overwhelming, and I have no way to manage it on my own.

I'm asking for help to cover the cost of these repairs and to make my home safe and comfortable again for my family. Any support you can give would mean the world to us as we work to recover and rebuild. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for considering a donation—your kindness will make a real difference in our lives.
