Montana is one of my employees at Incredibowl, and he’s always been a dedicated and hardworking member of our team. Yesterday March 22nd, after finishing his shift, Montana returned home to a devastating scene: his apartment had burned down. He lives with his mom, who is currently undergoing chemotherapy and is already weak and ill, along with his grandmother. In a matter of hours, they lost everything they owned. Without renters insurance, they are left with only the clothes they were wearing and currently don’t have access to their money.

This tragedy has put Montana and his family in an incredibly vulnerable position. With his mom’s health already a major concern, the added stress of losing their home and belongings is overwhelming. The funds raised will go directly toward helping them secure housing, replace essential items like clothing and toiletries, and begin rebuilding their lives.

Please consider donating if you can. Any amount truly helps. If you’re unable to give, sharing this fundraiser would mean just as much. Your support means everything as they begin the long road to recovery.
