Hello everyone,

We are rallying together to support our dear friend and colleague, Robert Loughbom, who recently experienced a tragic house fire in Dallas, Oregon. In just moments, Robert lost his home, all of his belongings, and the basic necessities we often take for granted. Most heartbreaking of all, his beloved dog did not make it out of the fire.

As you can imagine, Robert is now facing the overwhelming task of starting over from scratch. While the full extent of his immediate needs is still unfolding, we know he will require support with essentials such as temporary housing, clothing, and day-to-day items — just to get through the coming weeks and months. Eventually, any additional funds will go toward helping him rebuild his home and life.

While insurance will assist with some of the recovery, the process is slow and rarely covers everything. This fundraiser aims to bridge that gap, offering Robert the stability and peace of mind he needs as he takes the first steps forward.

If you’re able to donate, share this fundraiser, or send words of encouragement, it would mean the world. Every gesture — big or small — helps surround Robert with the love and support he needs during this incredibly difficult time.

With gratitude.
