We are reaching out to you with heavy hearts to support our friend Roxanne Tanner, who has faced an unimaginable tragedy. On October 16, 2025, Roxanne's home of 55 years was destroyed in a devastating kitchen grease fire. This home was not just a structure; it was a place filled with memories and love, especially after the passing of her beloved husband two years ago. Roxanne shares her home with her 2 sons, 7 grandchildren and one more on the way!
At the time of the fire, Roxanne was home alone with her three young grandchildren and their family dog. Thankfully they all made it out safely, but they were left with only the clothes on their backs. The loss of their family home has not only left them without shelter but also without the comforts and belongings they've cherished for so long.
Roxanne has always been a pillar of strength for her family and community, and now it's our turn to support her in this difficult time. We are setting up this GoFundMe campaign to help Roxanne and her family rebuild their lives. The funds raised will go towards:
-Temporary housing
-Essential clothing and personal items
-School supplies and clothing for the grandchildren
-Baby essentials such as diapers, high chair, crib, etc
-Essential household items as they will be starting from scratch
It will be a long process to rebuild their home! Any donation to help alleviate some of the financial stress and pressure is greatly appreciated!
We believe that together we can help them get back on their feet and provide them with the resources they need to rebuild.
Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support for Roxanne and her family during this tragic time. Please share this campaign with your friends and family to help us reach our goal!
