My best friend Patrick McCabe just went through the unimaginable. A devastating house fire completely destroyed everything he owned — he escaped with only the clothes on his back and his dog. Tragically, all eight of the cats in the home did not survive.

In the aftermath, he’s left with nothing: no furniture, no personal items, no savings, no place to stay, and no way to rebuild alone. He now needs help to cover basic essentials: clothing, food, toiletries, emergency shelter, and transportation, and possible vet care for his surviving dog. With your help, funds will go toward securing a new place to live, rebuilding his life and getting the much needed essentials he needs.

Despite how much he gets on my nerves, I know how kind, giving, and hardworking Pat is. He’s always helped others, and now more than ever he needs our community to step up for him.

If you can, please donate what you can — even small contributions will help more than you know. And if you can’t donate, sharing this fundraiser link with others means the world.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your compassion, generosity, and support.
