On November 13th, our dear friends and neighbors, Dane and Aubrey Carter, experienced a devastating house fire that has left them displaced from their home for the next several months. We are so grateful everyone made it out safely, but the smoke and water damage has affected nearly everything and the road ahead will be overwhelming.

With three young kids (ages 2, 4, and 8), suddenly losing access to your home, clothes, routines and belongings is incredibly stressful — especially with the holidays right around the corner.

They’re staying with nearby family for now, but the immediate needs add up fast: clothing, food, toiletries, bedding, replacing kids’ essentials and all the little things that make daily life feel normal.

This family has already endured so much heartbreak over the years, including the loss of their sweet baby girl Scottie, and it breaks our hearts to see them facing another huge trial. The Carters are truly the best of the best and we want them to feel fully supported by the many people who love them so much!

We created this GoFundMe to help cover immediate and short-term expenses as they navigate the difficult weeks and months ahead. Every donation — big or small — will go directly toward helping them get back on their feet and give their kids some joy in a season when they need it most.

Thank you for helping surround this sweet family with love, prayers, and support!
