On Sunday, December 14, my partner Jake and I, along with our three young children—Lynnlea (6), Nathan (2), and baby Nolan (6 months)—experienced a devastating house fire. We are beyond grateful that we were all able to get out safely and without injury, but the fire destroyed our home and everything we own. With the holidays here, we are doing our best to stay strong for our kids, but we are now displaced and facing unimaginable hardship.

Right now, we are trying to cover the immediate costs of temporary housing, basic necessities, and replacing essential items for our children. The loss has been overwhelming, and the uncertainty of what comes next is especially hard with three little ones to care for. Our family is rallying together, but we know we can't do this alone.

Any support—whether through donations or simply sharing this page—means more than we can express. Your kindness will help our family find hope and stability as we work through the next steps of rebuilding our lives. Thank you for being there for us during such a difficult time.
