Hi, my name is Susana, and I’m reaching out on behalf of my family of five. We recently experienced a life-altering tragedy — a house fire in Baldwin, NY that destroyed our home and everything we owned. We escaped with our lives, but we lost all of our belongings and the place we called home.

The most heartbreaking part is trying to navigate this crisis while caring for our 4-month-old baby, who has also been displaced. We are doing everything we can to stay strong for our children and to rebuild, but we can’t do it alone.

We’re urgently raising funds to help us get back on our feet. Your support will go directly toward:

Relocation and temporary housing

Basic furniture and essential household items

Baby supplies (crib, diapers, formula, clothing, etc.)

This has been the most difficult chapter of our lives, but we believe in the power of community. If you are able to help — whether through a donation or simply sharing this page — it would mean the world to us.

Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to rebuilding.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your compassion, generosity, and support during this incredibly tough time.

With love and gratitude,

Susana & Family
