Help Our Family After a Devastating House Fire & Tragic Loss

Donation protected
Hey my name is Jess, and I am creating this GoFundMe on behalf of my family after a heartbreaking and life-changing tragedy that occurred on Sunday, 23rd November 2025. My sister Jaimie and her partner Adam’s home was destroyed in a fire that has left our family completely shattered.

In the midst of the chaos, we suffered the unimaginable loss of my beloved niece, Savannah, who tragically did not survive. She was a bright, loving, beautiful soul, and our hearts will never be the same without her.

Other family members were rushed to the hospital and are currently in the ICU fighting for their lives. They are facing painful injuries and a long road to recovery.

Our family is now navigating the overwhelming grief of losing Savannah while also coping with the loss of their home, all of their belongings, and the challenges of recovering physically and emotionally themselves. We are reaching out for support during this extremely difficult time. Your donations will help them with:
• Medical care and long-term recovery support for family members in the ICU
• Funeral and memorial expenses for Savannah
• Temporary housing
• Clothing, food, and essential needs
• Replacing items lost in the fire
• Support as they rebuild their lives from this tragedy

Any amount—big or small—will make a meaningful difference. If you aren’t able to donate, sharing this page helps more than you know.

Thank you for supporting our family during the worst moment of our lives. We are deeply grateful for every act of kindness.

With love and appreciation,

Jess & Family
