Hello everyone, my name is Shawn and I'm fundraising for my brother Nik, his partner Erica & their soon-to-be born baby girl who have lost their home & everything they own in a devastating fire that ripped through their apartment on Friday of last week (06/25).

Fortunately, they were able to escape relatively unharmed but they need help rebuilding their life and more importantly, they need a home for their beautiful baby girl due in September.

The money raised will be going towards payment on a new living space and filling the new home with everything they lost including all the baby items they purchased while preparing their nursery in the months prior to the fire. If they don't receive our help, they are looking at months of uncertainty in all aspects of their lives as they navigate insurance claims, legal fees & apartment hunts all while preparing to be first-time parents.

Any amount you're able to contribute will go a long way towards cushioning this traumatic event & ensuring they have everything they need for a fresh start.

Thank you everyone for the outpouring of love and support. It’s been incredible.
