Help Rebuild After Harris Family’s Tragic Fire

Help Rebuild After Our Family’s Tragic Fire

On December 21st, my brother’s home, where he (Jerren), my sister-in-law (Ashley), and their precious 1-year-old daughter (Hazel) lived, was completely destroyed by a devastating fire. Miraculously, everyone made it out safely. My brother, who was awake at the time, smelled something off and quickly realized the danger, waking up his family just in time to escape.

Sadly, the property was not insured, leaving them with nothing but the clothes on their backs and the memories they hold dear. Just days earlier, on December 15th, we celebrated my niece's first birthday — a milestone filled with so much love and hope. Now, instead of celebrating the holidays in the comfort of their home, they are facing the unimaginable loss of everything, including priceless keepsakes and mementos from their daughter’s first year.

This is a critical time for our family, and they need your help. Any donation, big or small, will go directly towards helping them rebuild their lives, replace essential belongings, and begin the long process of recovery. We are incredibly grateful for any support you can provide during this heartbreaking time.

Thank you for being part of their journey to healing. Your kindness and generosity mean more than words can express.

With love and gratitude,

Bonnie Sturch

Thank you everyone that has donated, shared, and reached out. The outpouring of love from people they know and the ones they don't has warmed the hearts of the Harris Family.

I went out to the property to see the devastation first hand. It is as bad as I imagined. (Below is some better photos.) They are working on removing and cleaning up the damaged house. They are also looking at all their options for replacement.
