On Thursday, my sister Misty, her husband Mike, and their children Michaela and Mason experienced a devastating house fire. Thankfully, everyone—including their beloved dogs—made it out safely. While they are currently staying somewhere safe, the fire caused them to lose many of their belongings and essentials, leaving them to start over in many ways.

Right now, their most urgent needs are clothing, food, and replacing basic items lost in the fire. With Michaela and Mason preparing to return to school soon, the family is especially focused on making sure the kids have what they need for a fresh start. Misty, who works remotely as a nurse, is also working to rebuild a sense of normalcy for her family during this difficult time.

Any support will help Mike, Misty, Michaela, and Mason recover from this unexpected loss and begin to rebuild their lives. Your kindness will make a real difference as they work to get back on their feet.
