On May 12th, 2025, Santiago Williams and his wife experienced a devastating apartment fire that turned their lives upside down. In a matter of moments, they lost everything — their apartment, their belongings, and their sense of security they had built over the years. Thankfully, they made it out safely, but the road to recovery is long and uncertain.

Santiago is a dedicated custodian with the Saint Lucie County School Board. He’s one of the most humble, hard-working, and kind-hearted individuals I’ve had the pleasure to know. Day in and day out, he takes pride in his work and in serving our school community with integrity and compassion.

Now, it’s our turn to serve him.

We’re asking for any help — big or small — to support Santiago and his wife as they work to rebuild their lives. Your generosity can help provide clothing, basic necessities, temporary housing, and eventually help them get back to a sense of normalcy.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Any donation or even sharing this message means the world.

With gratitude,

Johnet Tucker
