Hi everyone,

Due to the recent and severe flooding in Washington State, my cousin was forced to leave their home with almost no notice. The floodwaters rose quickly, and like so many other families in the area, they had to evacuate for their safety, leaving behind most of their belongings. The devastation has been overwhelming, and my cousin is now facing the heartbreaking reality of having lost their home and the place where they felt safe and secure. Out of respect for their privacy, I am keeping their name private, but I want to share how much this has impacted someone very close to me.

Right now, my cousin is in urgent need of support for temporary housing, food, clothing, and other basic necessities. The road to recovery will be long, and the costs of starting over are more than they can manage alone. I created this GoFundMe to help them get back on their feet and to show that they are not alone during this incredibly difficult time.

Any donation, no matter the amount, would mean the world to us. If you’re unable to give, sharing this page with others is just as appreciated. Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, and support. — Baya
