Our son, Mario and his wife Kaitlyn have just experienced a devastating loss. Their home, which they lovingly renovated together after getting married last year, was destroyed in a fire. Not only did they lose their house, but their four beloved dogs are now without a safe place to call home. Most of their possessions were lost to smoke and water damage, leaving them with very little as they try to pick up the pieces.

Mario and Kaitlyn are two of the hardest working people I’ve ever met. They poured their hearts into building a life together, and it’s heartbreaking to see everything they’ve worked for taken away so suddenly. Right now, they need help with the basics—food, clothes, and other necessities—while they figure out where to go next and how to rebuild.

If you feel led to help this family, any amount will make a difference. Let’s come together as a community and show Mario, Kaitlyn, and their four pups that they’re not alone. Your support will help them get back on their feet and start the journey toward a new beginning.
