Our family is facing an unimaginable tragedy, and we are asking for help for my mom and her significant other, Ryan, to help rebuild their lives after a devastating home fire.

The fire reached approximately 900 degrees and destroyed everything we had. During this heartbreaking tragedy, we also lost our beloved dog, Ozzy, who was a cherished part of our family. Losing our home, belongings, and our beloved companion all at once has been incredibly difficult for us to manage.

Both my mom and Ryan suffered serious injuries after jumping from their second story to safety. My mom suffered severe burns, significant smoke inhalation and multiple fractured vertebrae. She is currently being hospitalized, trying to stay strong during her difficult recovery. Ryan had to be rushed into surgery because he shattered his elbow, broke his arm, and injured his ankles.

As a mother of two college children, this tragedy has deeply affected our entire family, adding another layer of worry and uncertainty during an already overwhelming time. We are facing the loss of our home and everything inside of it. We are creating this GoFundMe to help our family throughout this painful time.

Every donation will go to rebuilding our home, replacing the belongings we lost and supporting their long-term recovery. My sister and I want them to focus on healing without the burden of worrying about how they will meet their needs.

We appreciate every single donation. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean just as much to us. Every contribution makes a difference.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read our story and helping my mom and Ryan find hope during this very difficult time. Your kindness and generosity will help them take the first steps toward healing, stability, and a fresh start. We appreciate all of you❤️
