On November 30, 2025, my dear friend, Michelle Perry, lost her home in a tragic house fire. While I am grateful that Michelle and her special needs son, Jordan, are safe, the fire took nearly everything - their cherished dog, clothes, furniture, personal essentials, and so many irreplaceable memories. The loss is overwhelming, and Michelle is now faced with the daunting task of starting from scratch for herself and her son. To make matters worse, Michelle recently went through a battle with a very invasive form of cancer. She is now in remission, but she lost her disability and has been struggling financially to get it back for the past two years, which makes this new tragedy even more difficult for her.

She is incredibly humble and giving—no matter how little she has, she always finds a way to help others. Michelle has been there for me during the toughest times in my life, always showing up no matter how much time has passed. Michelle’s kindness and generosity have touched so many lives, and now I want to be there for her just as she has always been for so many.

We are creating this GoFundMe to help Michelle and Jordan with immediate needs like clothing, food, and temporary housing, and to support them as they begin the long process of rebuilding their lives. Any amount—big or small—will make a meaningful difference. If you can’t donate, sharing this fundraiser is just as helpful. Michelle has always been there for others, and now she and Jordan truly need our support. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, generosity, and prayers during this extremely difficult time.
