Hi, my name is Tabatha. We are a family of 8: 3 adults and 5 children.

Yesterday (11-1-25) at approximately 5 pm, my 6-year-old accidentally started a fire in my bedroom that set the house in flames. He received 1st-degree burns to his arm. Thankfully, everyone else made it out safely! All animals accounted for except a few kittens that didn’t make it.

My room is completely destroyed, losing quite literally everything I owned. The rest of the house is heavily smoke and water damaged, with everyone losing quite a bit of their belongings.

I'm hoping to raise some money to help pay for hotel rooms while we are displaced and maybe start to repair the house if possible.

Clothing and other items can be donated at the Stage Stop Butterfield (right across from George’s).

9429 State Route W, Cassville, MO

Cash donations can either be donated there as well, or we can set up in person.

I'll post everyone’s sizes here shortly in an update.

Thank you for any and all help. From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate you all.
