Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Strangers,

I am reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for your support for my dear friends, Steve and Andrea. Recently, they faced an unimaginable tragedy when devastating wildfires swept through their community of Jasper, leaving them with nothing but the clothes on their backs and little things they could gather as they escaped with a very short notice to evacuate along with their 2 adorable kids Lyle and Mia. This morning we learned that their home, belongings, and cherished memories were all lost in the flames. **see update below**

Steve and Andrea are some of the most compassionate and generous people I know. They have always been the first to lend a hand to those in need, and now it's our turn to help them in their time of crisis. As they begin the long and arduous journey of rebuilding their lives from scratch, they need our support more than ever.

The funds raised through this campaign will go directly towards helping Steve and Andrea secure temporary housing, replace essential belongings, and start the process of rebuilding their home. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a significant difference and help them find hope amidst this overwhelming loss.

Please consider donating to this GoFundMe and sharing it with your network. Together, we can provide Steve and Andrea with the support and resources they need to begin healing and rebuilding their lives.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Haileab
