Hi everyone,

Many of you know and love the Ames family. Recently, my grandparents experienced a devastating house fire that started unexpectedly in their garage. Thanks to the bravery of a bystander who helped my grandmother escape through a window—and by sheer miracle, my grandfather was blown out of the house—they are both alive. Even their beloved dog, "Sammy Girl," made it out safely.

While we are incredibly grateful they survived, they lost nearly everything—except a few clothes and some cherished photos. These are two of the most generous people I know, always going out of their way to help others in need. Now it's our turn to help them.

Please consider donating—any amount, big or small, will make a difference as they begin the long journey of rebuilding their lives. Thank you so much for your support, prayers, and kindness.
