Help Our Family Rebuild After a Devastating House Fire
Our family is heartbroken after a devastating house fire destroyed the home that has been the center of our family's life for generations.
This wasn't just a house—it was our home. My mom grew up here, my sisters and I were raised her, and my nephew was being raised here. It was one of the very first homes built on the street. It holds decades of birthdays, holidays, family dinners, laughter, and countless memories that can never be replaced.
At the time of the fire, my mom (Lynn Dee), my sister (Gaelee), her husband (Ronald), and their 2-year-old son (RJ), who will be turning 3 next month, were living in the home. They have now been displaced and are facing the overwhelming task of starting over.
While we are incredibly grateful that everyone made it out safely, almost everything inside the home was destroyed or severely damaged. They have lost clothing, furniture, household essentials, keepsakes, and so much more.
We are asking for help to provide our family with the necessities they need as they begin to rebuild their lives. Donations will help with temporary housing, clothing, food, household items, and other immediate expenses during this incredibly difficult time.
If you would like to donate items, our greatest immediate needs are for my nephew:
• Tops: Size 4T
• Bottoms: Size 3T
• Shoes: Toddler size 8
• Diapers: Size 6
If you would like to make a donation please contact either [phone redacted] or [phone redacted] and we will provide the address where items can be dropped off.
We are especially thankful to the Binghamton Fire Department for their quick response, professionalism, and compassion during this tragedy. We are forever grateful for everything they did.
Finally, we ask everyone reading this to take a moment today to check your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. We never think something like this will happen to us until it does. Making sure your alarms are working could save the lives of the people you love.
Whether you are able to donate, share this fundraiser, or simply keep our family in your thoughts and prayers, we are deeply grateful for your kindness and support as we begin the long journey of rebuilding.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts
