On July 16, 2026, my sister Malina’s apartment was devastated by a fire that caused severe damage throughout her home. The fire, water damage from the response efforts, and the roof caving in destroyed her belongings and left her without a place to live.

My sister is a college student who is now facing the unimaginable challenge of rebuilding while trying to continue her education. Unfortunately, she did not have renters insurance, leaving her without a way to replace what was lost.

We are asking for help as she searches for a new apartment and works to rebuild her life. Donations will go toward securing a new home, replacing essential belongings, furniture, clothing, and school-related needs.

Our goal is to raise $12,000 to help my sister get back on her feet during this incredibly difficult time.

Any amount helps, and if you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean the world to us. Thank you for supporting my sister and helping her begin again.
