Yesterday, my parents and my sister experienced a devastating house fire that destroyed their home and everything inside. In a matter of hours, they lost all of their clothes, essentials, furniture, and the place they have called home. My mom, who is an educator in our community, has always been there for others, and now our family is facing an unimaginable challenge.

The impact of this loss is overwhelming. You can read more about the fire here. My parents and sister are now without a permanent place to stay and are in urgent need of temporary housing, basic necessities, and support to begin rebuilding their lives. The funds raised here will help them secure a place to live, replace essential items, and start the long process of recovery. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference as they work to get back on their feet.

We are so grateful for anyone who is willing to help in any way—big or small—and we are deeply thankful for the support of our community. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to us during this difficult time. Thank you for standing with our family as we navigate this journey to rebuild and heal.

(Update: My mom and dad said I can ONLY post this GoFundMe, as long as anything "extra" or not needed is going to the Red Cross Relief Fund.)
