Early this morning, my dear friend Marie and her two teenage children experienced a devastating house fire. Thankfully, everyone made it out safely, but the damage to their home is extensive. A lot of the entire first floor was destroyed, and smoke has affected the entire house. The fire department has declared the house uninhabitable, so Marie and her kids have had to leave behind everything familiar to them. To make matters even more challenging, Marie’s car keys were lost in the fire, leaving her without a way to get around or take care of her family’s immediate needs.

Marie is a single mom who has always worked hard to provide for her children. Now, in the wake of this tragedy, she is facing the overwhelming task of finding a safe place for her family to stay, replacing essential items, and figuring out transportation…all at once. The road ahead will not be easy, but I know that with the support of our community, we can help Marie and her kids begin to rebuild their lives.

If you are able, please consider making a donation to help this family through an incredibly difficult time. Your generosity will go directly toward temporary housing, replacing what was lost, and helping Marie get back on her feet. Thank you so much for showing up for this family and for any support you can give.
