Help Rebuild a Home and a Life After the Lake Crowley “Pack” Wildfire

Our dear friends, Jenn and Wayne Nogosek have loved Lake Crowley for years. After visiting the area for so long, they finally made the heartfelt decision to make it their permanent home and build their life in the place they loved most.

On November 14, 2025, a fast-moving wildfire tore through Lake Crowley. With only moments to react, they were forced to evacuate with their dogs and the clothes on their backs.
Within hours, their home and everything inside it was gone.

They are now trying to navigate the unthinkable — losing every possession, every memory, and the place they built their future around.

They are new grandparents, with the holidays approaching, and this tragedy has left them without the security and comfort that home brings. They have no family nearby, and the emotional and financial weight of starting over is overwhelming.

We are raising funds to help them with:
• Immediate essentials: clothing, toiletries, temporary housing, food
• Replacing what was lost
• Care for their pets
• Holiday support during an already difficult time
• Long-term rebuilding expenses

Any amount, big or small, will help them begin to rebuild their life from the ground up. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser — it truly makes a difference.

Thank you for standing with them during this heartbreaking time. ❤️
